# Vulnerability details

## Impact

The `VaultBooster.sol` contract allows someone to liquidate tokens for a vault and improve the vault's chance of winning. 
The `prizePool.prizeToken` is set in the constructor and `liquidationPair` set in the `setBoost` function.

However, the external `deposit` function has **no access control or input validation**, which means users of the protocol can deposit any `IERC20` token in the Vaultbooster which then gets stuck if the token is not the `liquidationPair`. 

The deposited token will get added to `_boosts` but is not used in the calculations of `liquidationPair` and the `withdraw` function can only be used by the Owner with a hardcoded withdrawal address of `msg.sender`. 

Consequently, there is no viable way for users to recover funds deposit deposited in the Vaultbooster when they have deposited the wrong  `IERC20` token.

## Proof of Concept

https://github.com/GenerationSoftware/pt-v5-vault-boost/blob/9d640051ab61a0fdbcc9500814b7f8242db9aec2/src/VaultBooster.sol#L167-L176

https://github.com/GenerationSoftware/pt-v5-vault-boost/blob/9d640051ab61a0fdbcc9500814b7f8242db9aec2/src/VaultBooster.sol#L246-L257

When calling the `deposit` function with a wrong IERC20 token (for example `WETH`), the internals functions `_accrue` and `_computeAvailable` will be called to obtain and set `Boost` parameters. Even though there is no `Boost` in the `_boosts` mapping for that `IERC20` token, both functions will not revert and simply add a new `Boost` to the mapping. 

Below are two small  Remix tests which show that neither `_accrue` nor `_computeAvailable` will revert. 
``` solidity 
contract TestAccrue {

    struct Boost {
        address liquidationPair;
        uint144 available;
        uint48 lastAccruedAt;
    }

    address weth = 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2;
    mapping(IERC20 => Boost) internal _boosts;

    function deposit(IERC20 _token, uint144 amount) public {
        _boosts[_token].available = amount;
    }

    function getBoosts() public view returns(uint256) {
        return _boosts[IERC20(weth)].available;
    }
}
```


``` solidity 
contract TestComputeAvailable {

    struct Boost {
        address liquidationPair;
        uint144 available;
        uint48 lastAccruedAt;
    }

    address weth = 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2;
    mapping(IERC20 => Boost) internal _boosts;

    function compute(IERC20 _token) public view returns(uint256) {
        Boost memory boost = _boosts[_token];
        return boost.available;

    }
}
```

# Vulnerability details

## Impact
In LiquidationRouter.sol, swapExactAmountOut() function has no deadline for the transaction when swapping.

```Solidity
File: src/LiquidationRouter.sol

  function swapExactAmountOut(
    LiquidationPair _liquidationPair,
    address _receiver,
    uint256 _amountOut,
    uint256 _amountInMax
  ) external onlyTrustedLiquidationPair(_liquidationPair) returns (uint256) {
    IERC20(_liquidationPair.tokenIn()).safeTransferFrom(
      msg.sender,
      _liquidationPair.target(),
      _liquidationPair.computeExactAmountIn(_amountOut)
    );

    uint256 amountIn = _liquidationPair.swapExactAmountOut(_receiver, _amountOut, _amountInMax);

    emit SwappedExactAmountOut(_liquidationPair, _receiver, _amountOut, _amountInMax, amountIn);

    return amountIn;
  }
```
As seen above, there is no deadline checks while swapping. This can be further checked in [LiquidationRouter.sol](https://github.com/GenerationSoftware/pt-v5-cgda-liquidator/blob/7f95bcacd4a566c2becb98d55c1886cadbaa8897/src/LiquidationPair.sol#L211-L226) where deadline parameter is also missing. AMMs provide their users with an option to limit the execution of their pending actions, such as swaps or adding and removing liquidity. The most common solution is to include a deadline timestamp as a parameter (for example see [Uniswap V2](https://github.com/Uniswap/v2-periphery/blob/0335e8f7e1bd1e8d8329fd300aea2ef2f36dd19f/contracts/UniswapV2Router02.sol#L244) and [Uniswap V3](https://github.com/Uniswap/v3-periphery/blob/6cce88e63e176af1ddb6cc56e029110289622317/contracts/SwapRouter.sol#L119)). If such an option is not present, users can unknowingly perform bad trades:

1) Alice wants to swap 100 tokens for 1 ETH and later sell the 1 ETH for 1000 DAI.
2) The transaction is submitted to the mempool, however, Alice chose a transaction fee that is too low for miners to be interested in including her transaction in a block. The transaction stays pending in the mempool for extended periods, which could be hours, days, weeks, or even longer.
3) When the average gas fee dropped far enough for Alice’s transaction to become interesting again for miners to include it, her swap will be executed. In the meantime, the price of ETH could have drastically changed. She will still get 1 ETH but the DAI value of that output might be significantly lower. She has unknowingly performed a bad trade due to the pending transaction she forgot about.

# Vulnerability details

## Impact
Malicious `_liquidationPair` owner can deploy `_liquidationPair` using malicious `_source`(liquidation source that the pair will use) and other insufficient input validations that can put users' funds at risk. 

```Solidity
File: src/LiquidationPairFactory.sol

  function createPair(
    ILiquidationSource _source,
    address _tokenIn,
    address _tokenOut,
    uint32 _periodLength,
    uint32 _periodOffset,
    uint32 _targetFirstSaleTime,
    SD59x18 _decayConstant,
    uint112 _initialAmountIn,
    uint112 _initialAmountOut,
    uint256 _minimumAuctionAmount
  ) external returns (LiquidationPair) {
    LiquidationPair _liquidationPair = new LiquidationPair(
      _source,
      _tokenIn,
      _tokenOut,
      _periodLength,
      _periodOffset,
      _targetFirstSaleTime,
      _decayConstant,
      _initialAmountIn,
      _initialAmountOut,
      _minimumAuctionAmount
    );

    allPairs.push(_liquidationPair);
    deployedPairs[_liquidationPair] = true;

   // Some code

  }
```

In LiquidationPairFactory.sol, createPair() function is used to deploy a new `LiquidationPair` and then push it to allPairs array.

```Solidity
  LiquidationPair[] public allPairs;
```

It also have a mapping to verify that a _liquidationPair has been deployed via the LiquidationPairFactory.sol 

```Solidity
  mapping(LiquidationPair => bool) public deployedPairs;
```

This allows users to check the authenticity of a `_liquidationPair` to ensure the that implementation of a `_liquidationPair` is authentic but the issue arises when the addresses of the `_source` and other parameters are passed as input in the function but they are not validated before the `_liquidationPair` being deployed. In current implementation, users can see the authenticity of `_liquidationPair` but they can not authenticate the `_source`(liquidation source).

`LiquidationPair.sol` [constructor](https://github.com/GenerationSoftware/pt-v5-cgda-liquidator/blob/7f95bcacd4a566c2becb98d55c1886cadbaa8897/src/LiquidationPair.sol#L93-L135) only checks that uint related parameters. It does not check or validate the _source, _tokenIn, _tokenOut addresses in constructor. It is recommended to validate before the deployment.

# Vulnerability details

## Impact
The `rngComplete()` function in the `RngRelayAuction.sol` contract contains a for loop over an unbounded array, the `_rewards` array. This loop could potentially consume all gas and revert the transaction, which would prevent users from receiving their rewards.

## Proof of Concept

The for loop iterates to the `_rewards.length`, which is the `_rewards` array length

```solidity
 for (uint8 i = 0; i < _rewards.length; i++) {
      uint104 _reward = uint104(_rewards[i]);
      if (_reward > 0) {
        prizePool.withdrawReserve(auctionResults[i].recipient, _reward);
        emit AuctionRewardDistributed(_sequenceId, auctionResults[i].recipient, i, _reward);
      }
    }
```
The `_rewards`array is an unbounded array which has no limit, so it can consume all gas and revert the transaction.

```solidity
uint256[] memory _rewards = RewardLib.rewards(auctionResults, futureReserve);
```

## Tools Used

Manual review

## Recommended Mitigation Steps

To avoid this issue, the for loop should be modified to iterate over a bounded array. A bounded array is an array that has a fixed size. This will ensure that the for loops cannot consume more gas than the block gas limit, and the transactions will not be reverted.

# Vulnerability details

## Impact
- This issue is related to the `setBoost()` function in `VaultBooster`, which allows the owner to configure boost parameters for a specific token (`tokenOut`).
- The function includes a check on `_initialAvailable` to ensure it does not exceed the contract's balance.
```solidity
if (_initialAvailable > 0) {
      uint256 balance = _token.balanceOf(address(this));
      if (balance < _initialAvailable) {
        revert InitialAvailableExceedsBalance(_initialAvailable, balance);
}
```
- However, an attacker can front-run the owner's transaction and call `liquidate()` through the Liquidation Pair contract, reducing the contract's balance. As a result, the owner's transaction will revert, preventing the update of the liquidation pair and other boost parameters.
- To initiate this attack, the attacker does not need a large amount of tokens. Even a liquidation amount as small as `1 wei` is sufficient to prevent the owner from configuring the boost parameters for as long as needed. This allows the attacker to maintain control and hinder the owner's ability to update the boost settings.
- The inability to change the values such as `_multiplierOfTotalSupplyPerSecond` and `_tokensPerSecond` when needed could lead to suboptimal boost strategies, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities for the associated prize vault. Flexibility in adjusting these parameters is crucial for adapting to changing market conditions and maintaining competitiveness in the dynamic DeFi ecosystem.

# Vulnerability details

## Description

The computeRewardFraction() function in the RngRelayAuction contract has a bug that could cause it to return an incorrect reward fraction if the auction duration is zero. The function calculates the reward fraction as follows:

function computeRewardFraction(uint64 _auctionElapsedTime) external view returns (UD2x18) {
  return UD2x18.wrap(
    uint64(convert(_auctionElapsedTime).div(convert(_auctionDurationSeconds)).unwrap())
  );
}
If the auction duration is zero, then the convert(_auctionDurationSeconds) expression will return zero. This will cause the div() expression to throw an error.

## Impact

The bug in the computeRewardFraction() function could cause the contract to distribute incorrect rewards to the participants in the auction. This could potentially lead to financial losses for the participants.

## Proof of Concept
pragma solidity ^0.8.19;

import { UD2x18 } from "prb-math/UD2x18.sol";
import { RngRelayAuction } from "./RngRelayAuction.sol";

contract Test {

  RngRelayAuction auction = new RngRelayAuction(address(0), address(0), 100, 0);

  function test() public {
    uint64 elapsedTime = 10;
    uint64 rewardFraction = auction.computeRewardFraction(elapsedTime);
    assert(rewardFraction == 0);
  }

}


The output of the POC  be:

Error: Assertion failed: rewardFraction == 0


This error indicates that the bug is present. The bug can be fixed by changing the div() expression to a mod() expression in the computeRewardFraction() function.

## Tools Used
REMIX IDE

## Recommended Mitigation 

Here is the updated code for the computeRewardFraction() function:

function computeRewardFraction(uint64 _auctionElapsedTime) external view returns (UD2x18) {
  return UD2x18.wrap(
    uint64(convert(_auctionElapsedTime).mod(convert(_auctionDurationSeconds)).unwrap())
  );
}
This modified code will ensure that the computeRewardFraction() function does not throw an error if the auction duration is zero.

# Vulnerability details

## Description

he lnParam.ln() operation can cause floating point errors, especially when the value of lnParam is close to zero. This is because the ln() function is not accurate when the value of its argument is close to zero.

The error can be caused by the following factors:

- The ln() function is a recursive function, which means that it calls itself. This can lead to rounding errors, which can accumulate and cause the final result to be inaccurate.
- The ln() function is not accurate when the value of its argument is close to zero. This is because the logarithm of zero is undefined.

## Impact

 The bug could cause the user to be unable to purchase the desired amount of tokens. Additionally, the bug could also cause the contract to behave in unexpected ways, which could lead to financial losses for users.

## Proof of Concept
pragma solidity 0.8.19;

import { SD59x18, convert, unwrap } from "prb-math/SD59x18.sol";
import { ContinuousGDA } from "./ContinuousGDA.sol";

  using ContinuousGDA for SD59x18;

  function testPurchaseAmount() public {
    // Set the parameters for the test.
    const emissionRate = SD59x18.wrap(1e18);
    const k = SD59x18.wrap(1);
    const decayConstant = SD59x18.wrap(0.1);
    const timeSinceLastAuctionStart = SD59x18.wrap(1);
    const price = SD59x18.wrap(0.001);

    // Call the `purchaseAmount` function.
    const amount = purchaseAmount(price, emissionRate, k, decayConstant, timeSinceLastAuctionStart);

    // Check the result of the function.
    assert(amount.unwrap() != 1000);
  }
}

contract Test {
  function main() public {
    new BugDemo().testPurchaseAmount();
  }
}

  we will get the following error:

Error: AssertionError(expected: 1000, actual: 999.295466)


This error confirms that the purchaseAmount function has a floating point error.

## Tools Used
REMIX IDE

## Recommended Mitigation Steps

This  can be mitigated by using a different formula to calculate the amount of tokens that can be purchased for a given price, the following formula can be used:

SD59x18 lnParam = _k.add(_price.mul(_emissionRate).mul(exp)).sub(_k);
SD59x18 amount = _emissionRate.mul(lnParam.sqrt());

This formula is less likely to cause floating point errors, because it does not use the ln() function.
