# Overview

Code 432n4 (C4) is an open organization consisting of security researchers, auditors, developers, and individuals with domain expertise in smart contracts.

A C4 code contest is an event in which community participants, referred to as Wardens, review, audit, or analyze smart contract logic in exchange for a bounty provided by sponsoring projects.

During the code contest outlined in this document, C4 conducted an analysis of the Yield smart contract system written in Solidity. The code contest took place between August 11—August 14 2021.

## Wardens

8 Wardens contributed reports to the Yield micro code contest:

This contest was judged by ghoul.sol.

Final report assembled by moneylegobatman and ninek.

# Summary

The C4 analysis yielded an aggregated total of 21 unique vulnerabilities and 48 total findings. All of the issues presented here are linked back to their original finding

Of these vulnerabilities, 5 received a risk rating in the category of HIGH severity, 4 received a risk rating in the category of MEDIUM severity, and 12 received a risk rating in the category of LOW severity.

C4 analysis also identified 9 non-critical recommendations and 18 gas optimizations.

# Scope

The code under review can be found within the C4 Yield micro code contest repository is comprised of 61 smart contracts written in the Solidity programming language and includes 4,115 lines of Solidity code.

## [H-01] CompositeMultiOracle returns wrong decimals for prices?

Submitted by cmichel

The CompositeMultiOracle.peek/get functions seem to return wrong prices. It’s unclear what decimals source.decimals refers to in this case. Does it refer to source.source token decimals?

It chains the price arguments through _peek function calls and a single price is computed as:

(priceOut, updateTimeOut) = IOracle(source.source).peek(base, quote, 10 ** source.decimals);   // Get price for one unit
// @audit shouldn't this divide by 10 ** IOracle(source.source).decimals() instead?
priceOut = priceIn * priceOut / (10 ** source.decimals);

Assume all oracles use 18 decimals (oracle.decimals() returns 18) and source.decimals refers to the token decimals of source.source.

Then going from USDC -> DAI -> USDT (path = [DAI]) starts with a price of 1e18 in peek:

• _peek(USDC, DAI, 1e18): Gets the price of 1e6 USDC (as USDC has 6 decimals) in DAI with 18 decimals precision (because all oracle precision is set to 18): priceOut = priceIn * 1e18 / 1e6 = 1e18 * 1e18 / 1e6 = 1e30
• _peek(DAI, USDT, 1e30): Gets the price of 1e18 DAI (DAI has 18 decimals) with 18 decimals precision: priceOut = priceIn * 1e18 / 1e18 = priceIn = 1e30

It then uses 1e30 as the price to go from USDC to USDT: value = price * amount / 1e18 = 1e30 * (1.0 USDC) / 1e18 = 1e30 * 1e6 / 1e18 = 1e18 = 1e12 * 1e6 = 1_000_000_000_000.0 USDT. Inflating the actual USDT amount.

The issue is that peek assumes that the final price is in 18 decimals in the value = price * amount / 1e18 division by 1e18. But _peek (and _get) don’t enforce this.

Recommend that _peek should scale the prices to 1e18 by doing:

(priceOut, updateTimeOut) = IOracle(source.source).get(base, quote, 10 ** source.decimals);
// priceOut will have same decimals as priceIn if we divide by oracle decimals
priceOut = priceIn * priceOut / (10 ** IOracle(source.source).decimals());

It does not need to divide by the source.source token precision (source.decimals), but by the oracle precision (IOracle(source.source).decimals()).

alcueca (Yield) acknowledged:

It’s confusing to deal with all these decimals, I should at least comment the code better, and try to make it easier to understand.

It’s unclear what decimals source.decimals refers to in this case. Does it refer to source.source token decimals?

CompositeMultiOracle takes IOracle contracts as sources, so source.decimals refers to the token decimals of the oracle, not of the data source one level below.

It does not need to divide by the source.source token precision (source.decimals), but by the oracle precision (IOracle(source.source).decimals()).

The source.source token precision would be IChainlinkAggregatorV3(source.source()).decimals(), the source oracle precision is source.decimals(). CompositeMultiOracle cannot make an assumption on any fields present on source.source, and must work only with the underlying source IOracles.

I’m still not disputing this finding. I need to dig further to make sure the decimals are right when different IOracle sources have different decimals, and I’ve hardcoded a few 1e18 in there. Those are code smells.

alcueca (Yield) patched:

Sent me into a wild goose chase to support IOracle of multiple decimals as sources to CompositeMultiOracle, only to realize that we create all IOracles and we always create them with 18 decimals, converting from the underlying data source if needed.

Ended up making CompositeMultiOracle require that underlying oracles have 18 decimals. Done.

alcueca (Yield) further patched:

Further refactored all oracles so that decimals are handled properly, and work on taking an amount of base as input, and returning an amount of quote as output. Our oracles don’t have decimals themselves anymore as a state variable, since the return values are in the decimals of quote. This means that CompositeMultiOracle is agnostic with regards to decimals, and doesn’t even need to know about them.

## [H-02] ERC20Rewards returns wrong rewards if no tokens initially exist

Submitted by cmichel

The ERC20Rewards._updateRewardsPerToken function exits without updating rewardsPerToken_.lastUpdated if totalSupply is zero, i.e., if there are no tokens initially.

This leads to an error if there is an active rewards period but no tokens have been minted yet.

Example: rewardsPeriod.start: 1 month ago, rewardsPeriod.end: in 1 month, totalSupply == 0.

The first mint leads to the user (mintee) receiving all rewards for the past period (50% of the total rewards in this case).

• _mint is called, calls _updateRewardsPerToken which short-circuits. rewardsPerToken.lastUpdated is still set to rewardsPeriod.start from the constructor. Then _updateUserRewards is called and does not currently yield any rewards. (because both balance and the index diff are zero). User has now minted the tokens, totalSupply increases and user balance is set.
• User performs a claim: _updateRewardsPerToken is called and timeSinceLastUpdated = end - rewardsPerToken_.lastUpdated = block.timestamp - rewardsPeriod.start = 1 month. Contract “issues” rewards for the past month. The first mintee receives all of it.

The first mintee receives all pending rewards when they should not receive any past rewards. This can easily happen if the token is new, the reward period has already been initialized and is running, but the protocol has not officially launched yet. Note that setRewards also allows setting a date in the past which would also be fatal in this case.

Recommend that the rewardsPerToken_.lastUpdated field must always be updated in _updateRewardsPerToken to the current time (or end) even if _totalSupply == 0. Don’t return early.

alcueca (Yield) confirmed:

You are right, that’s a great finding. For the record, I think that this is what this line in Unipool.sol does:

function rewardPerToken() public view returns (uint256) {
if (totalSupply() == 0) {
return rewardPerTokenStored;
}

I’ll apply the mitigation step suggested, with a conditional to not do the rewardsPerToken_.accumulated math that would revert.

Now I know the feeling of the devs that fork a known project and leave a pesky conditional out, thanks again :D

## [H-03] ERC20Rewards breaks when setting a different token

Submitted by cmichel

The setRewards function allows setting a different token. Holders of a previous reward period cannot all be paid out and will receive their old reward amount in the new token.

This leads to issues when the new token is more (less) valuable, or uses different decimals.

Example: Assume the first reward period paid out in DAI which has 18 decimals. Someone would have received 1.0 DAI = 1e18 DAI if they called claim now. Instead, they wait until the new period starts with USDC (using only 6 decimals) and can claim their 1e18 reward amount in USDC which would equal 1e12 USDC, one trillion USD.

Changing the reward token only works if old and new tokens use the same decimals and have the exact same value. Otherwise, users that claim too late/early will lose out.

Recommend disallowing changing the reward token, or clearing user’s pending rewards of the old token. The second approach requires more code changes and keeping track of what token a user last claimed.

alcueca (Yield) confirmed:

Maybe I should have used stronger language: // If changed in a new rewards program, any unclaimed rewards from the last one will be served in the new token

The issue is known, but you are right in pointing it out. There are few situations in which changing the rewards token would make sense (such as replacing a faulty rewards token by a fixed one). I think it would be best to just disallow changing the token.

## [H-04] Rewards accumulated can stay constant and often not increment

Submitted by moose-code

rewardsPerToken_.accumulated can stay constant while rewardsPerToken_.lastUpdated is continually updated, leading to no actual rewards being distributed. I.e. No rewards accumulate.

Line 115, rewardsPerToken_.accumulated could stay constant if there are very quick update intervals, a relatively low rewardsPerToken_.rate and a decent supply of the ERC20 token.

I.e. imagine the token supply is 1 billion tokens (quite a common amount, note even if a supply of only say 1 million tokens this is still relevant). i.e. 1e27 wei.

Line 115 has

1e18 * timeSinceLastUpdated * rewardsPerToken_.rate / _totalSupply

timeSinceLastUpdated can be crafted to be arbitrarily small by simply transferring or burning tokens, so lets exclude this term (it could be 10 seconds etc). Imagine total supply is 1e27 as mentioned.

Therefore, 1e18 * rewardsPerToken_.rate / 1e27, which shows that if the rewardsPerToken_.rate is < 1e9, something which is very likely, then the accumulated amount won’t increment, as there are no decimals in solidity and this line of code will evaluate to adding zero. While this is rounded down to zero, critically, rewardsPerToken_.lastUpdated = end; is updated.

The reason I have labelled this as a high risk is the express purpose of this contract is to reward users with tokens, yet a user could potentially quite easily exploit this line to ensure no one ever gets rewards and the accumulated amount never increases.

Given a fairly large token supply, and a relatively low emissions rate is set, that satisfies the above equation, for the entire duration of the rewards period, the user simply sends tokens back and forth every couple seconds (gas limitations, but layer 2), to keep the delta timeSinceLastUpdated close to 1.

This way the accumulated amount will never tick up, but time keeps being counted.

Furthermore, I would say this is high risk as this wouldn’t even need an attacker. Given the transfer function is likely often being called by users, timeSinceLastUpdated will naturally be very low anyways.

Even if not so extreme as the above case, Alberto points out that “rounding can eat into the rewards” which is likely to be prevalent in the current scenario and make a big impact over time on the targeted vs actual distribution.

Again, this problem is more likely to occur in naturally liquid tokens where lots of transfer, mint or burn events occur.

As suggested by Alberto, the simplest it to probably not update the rewardsPerToken_.lastUpdated field if rewardsPerToken_.accumulated does not change. Although this change should be closely scrutinized to see it doesn’t introduce bugs elsewhere.

alcueca (Yield) acknowledged and disagreed with severity:

While the issue exists, it’s not as severe as portrayed, and doesn’t need fixing.

There is an error in the assessment, and it is that the rate refers to the rewards amount distributed per second among all token holders. It is not the rewards amount distributed per token per second (that’s dynamically calculated).

Also, it needs to be taken into account that rewardsPerToken.accumulated is stored scaled up by 1e18, to avoid losing much ground to rounding.

struct RewardsPerToken {
uint128 accumulated;                            // Accumulated rewards per token for the period, scaled up by 1e18
uint32 lastUpdated;                             // Last time the rewards per token accumulator was updated
uint96 rate;                                    // Wei rewarded per second among all token holders
}

One of the largest cap tokens is Dai, with a distribution close to 1e28. If ERC20Rewards were to distribute 1 cent/second among all token holders (which wouldn’t be very exciting), and block times were of 1 second, the accumulator would still accumulate.

accumulator += 1e18 (scaling) * 1 (seconds per block) * 1e16 (Dai wei / second) / 1e28 (Dai total supply) The increase to the accumulator is of 1e6, which gives plenty of precision. I would expect a rewards program on Dai holders would be at least 1e6 larger per second.

On the other hand, accumulator is an uint128, which holds amounts of up to 1e38. To overflow it we would need a low cap token (let’s say USDC, with 1e15), and a high distribution (1e12 per second, which is unreal), and we run the program for 3 years, or 1e9, to make it easy.

The accumulator at the end of the ten years would be: accumulator = 1e18 (scaling) * 1e9 (seconds) * 1e12 (distribution) / 1e15 (supply) = 1e24 Which doesn’t overflow.

I’ll keep high risk as there should be no scenario where the math breaks.

## [H-05] Exchange rates from Compound are assumed with 18 decimals

Submitted by shw

The CTokenMultiOracle contract assumes the exchange rates (borrowing rate) of Compound always have 18 decimals, while, however, which is not true. According to the Compound documentation, the exchange rate returned from the exchangeRateCurrent function is scaled by 1 * 10^(18 - 8 + Underlying Token Decimals) (and so does exchangeRateStored). Using a wrong decimal number on the exchange rate could cause incorrect pricing on tokens. See CTokenMultiOracle.sol #L110.

Recommend following the documentation and getting the decimals of the underlying tokens to set the correct decimal of a Source.

alcueca (Yield) confirmed:

Thanks a lot for coming up with this. I had looked into how Compound defined the decimals and couldn’t find it.

# Medium Risk Findings (4)

## [M-01] No ERC20 safe* versions called

Submitted by cmichel, also found by JMukesh and hickuphh3

The claim function performs an ERC20 transfer rewardsToken.transfer(to, claiming); but does not check the return value, nor does it work with all legacy tokens.

Some tokens (like USDT) don’t correctly implement the EIP20 standard and their transfer/transferFrom function return void instead of a success boolean. Calling these functions with the correct EIP20 function signatures will always revert.

The ERC20.transfer() and ERC20.transferFrom() functions return a boolean value indicating success. This parameter needs to be checked for success. Some tokens do not revert if the transfer failed but return false instead.

Tokens that don’t actually perform the transfer and return false are still counted as a correct transfer and tokens that don’t correctly implement the latest EIP20 spec, like USDT, will be unusable in the protocol as they revert the transaction because of the missing return value.

Recommend using OpenZeppelin’s SafeERC20 versions with the safeTransfer and safeTransferFrom functions that handle the return value check as well as non-standard-compliant tokens.

alcueca (Yield) confirmed:

True, thanks for spotting it!

## [M-02] TimeLock cannot schedule the same calls multiple times

Submitted by cmichel

The TimeLock.schedule function reverts if the same targets and data fields are used as the txHash will be the same. This means one cannot schedule the same transactions multiple times.

Imagine the delay is set to 30 days, but a contractor needs to be paid every 2 weeks. One needs to wait 30 days before scheduling the second payment to them.

Recommend also including eta in the hash. (Compound’s Timelock does it as well.) This way the same transaction data can be used by specifying a different eta.

alcueca (Yield) confirmed:

Funny, BoringCrypto was quite negative about including the eta in the txHash. At the time I couldn’t think of a reason to repeat the same call with the same data, but you are right that sometimes it might make sense, and storing off-chain the expected eta of each timelocked transaction is something you should do anyway.

I’ll confirm this issue, and will bring it for public discussion once the contest is over.

alcueca (Yield) patched:

I ended up refactoring the Timelock so that the eta is not included in the parameters, but repeated proposals are allowed.

## [M-03] Rewards squatting - setting rewards in different ERC20 tokens opens various economic attacks.

Submitted by moose-code, also found by hickuphh3

Users essentially have an option to either claim currently earned reward amounts on future rewards tokens, or the current rewards token.

Although stated on line 84, it does not take into account the implications the lock in this contract will have on the future value of new tokens able to be issued via rewards.

Smart users will monitor the mempool for setRewards transactions. If the new reward token (token b) is less valuable than the old reward token (token a), they can front run this transaction by calling claim. Otherwise, they let their accrued ‘token a’ roll into rewards of of the more valuable ‘token b’.

Given loads of users will likely hold these tokens from day 1, there will potentially be thousands of different addresses squatting on rewards.

Economically, and given the above, it makes sense that the value of new reward tokens, i.e. ‘token b’ should always be less than that of ‘token a’. This is undesirable in a rewards token contract, as there is no reliable way to start issuing a more valuable token at a later stage, unless exposing yourself to a major risk of reward squatting.

i.e. You could not issue a more valuable token in future (for example, if we wanted to run a rewards period issuing an asset like WETH rewards for 10 days) after first initially issuing DAI as a reward. This hamstrings flexibility of the contract.

P.s. This is one of the slickest contracts I’ve read. Love how awesome it is.Just believe this should be fixed, then its good to go.

It is true you could probably write a script to manually go call claim on thousands of squatting token addresses but this is a poor solution.

Recommend instead, that a simple mapping pattern could be used with an index mapping to a reward cycle with a reward token and a new accumulative etc. Users would likely need to be given a period a to claim from old reward cycles before their token balance could no longer reliably used to calculate past rewards. The would still be able to claim everything up until their last action (even though this may be before the rewards cycle ended).

alcueca (Yield) confirmed:

Thanks! I agree that allowing to change the rewards token is just too troublesome.

## [M-04] Use safeTransfer instead of transfer

Submitted by shw

Tokens not compliant with the ERC20 specification could return false from the transfer function call to indicate the transfer fails, while the calling contract would not notice the failure if the return value is not checked. Checking the return value is a requirement, as written in the EIP-20 specification:

Callers MUST handle false from returns (bool success). Callers MUST NOT assume that false is never returned!

Recommend using the SafeERC20 library implementation from OpenZeppelin and calling safeTransfer or safeTransferFrom when transferring ERC20 tokens.

# Low Risk Findings (12)

## [L-01] updateTime of get is 0

Submitted by gpersoon, also found by shw

In function _get of CompositeMultiOracle the updateTime is not initialized, so it will be 0.

Function _get has the following statement:

   updateTimeOut = (updateTimeOut < updateTimeIn) ? updateTimeOut : updateTimeIn;

updateTimeIn ==0 ==>  (updateTimeOut < updateTimeIn)== false ==> result of the expression is updateTimeIn == 0 ==> updateTimeOut =0

So this means the function get will always return updateTime==0

The updateTime result of the function get doesn’t seem to be used in the code so the risk is low. If would only be relevant for future code updates.


function get(bytes32 base, bytes32 quote, uint256 amount)  external virtual override  returns (uint256 value, uint256 updateTime)  {
...
for (uint256 p = 0; p < path.length; p++) {
(price, updateTime) = _get(base_, path[p], price, updateTime);

function _get(bytes6 base, bytes6 quote, uint256 priceIn, uint256 updateTimeIn)  private returns (uint priceOut, uint updateTimeOut) {
...
(priceOut, updateTimeOut) = IOracle(source.source).get(base, quote, 10 ** source.decimals);    // Get price for one unit
...
updateTimeOut = (updateTimeOut < updateTimeIn) ? updateTimeOut : updateTimeIn;                 // Take the oldest update time

It is right that there is a different definition of before and after maturity, and that Strategy.sol should match FYToken.sol, same as Pool.sol does.

However, there is no impact from this issue. The only thing that could happen is that an user mint strategy tokens on an already matured pool, which is harmless.

## [L-03] Missing input validation to check that end > start

setRewards() is missing input validation on parameters start and end to check if end > start. If accidentally set incorrectly, this will allow resetting new rewards while there is an ongoing one (ERC20Rewards.sol#L74 L88).

alcueca (Yield) confirmed:

If accidentally set incorrectly, this will allow resetting new rewards while there is an ongoing one.

Solidity 0.8.3 is a bugfix release that fixes an important bug about how the optimizer handles the Keccak256 opcode. For details on the bug, please see the bug blog post.

## [L-09] ERC20Rewards claiming can fail if no reward tokens

Submitted by cmichel

The ERC20Rewards contract assumes that enough rewardsToken are in the contract to pay out when claim is called but this value is never checked and claiming rewards can fail.

Recommend that, when setting new rewards periods, to make sure that enough rewardsTokens are in the contract to cover the entire period.

alcueca (Yield) acknowledged:

This is a known issue, which we prefer to leave as it is.

Users can check if there are rewards tokens in the contract to cover the whole period, if they wish. ERC20Rewards.sol is intended to be inherited, so it depends on the implementation of the child contract whether that user check (or the proposed mitigation) could be trusted.

In our intended use of ERC20Rewards, it is a governance action to make sure that there are funds to cover rewards at all times, which is easy to do since they are evenly distributed over time.

## [L-10] improve safety of role constants

Submitted by gpersoon

The contract Wand defines a few role constants with bytes4(keccak256("...function...")) However if the function template would change slightly, for example when uint128 is replaced by uint256, then this construction isn’t valid anymore.

It is safer to use the function selector, as is done in EmergencyBrake.sol

bytes4 public constant EXIT = bytes4(keccak256("exit(address,uint128)"));

## [L-11] EmergencyBrake.sol: Permissions cannot be re-planned after termination

Given a configuration of target, contacts, and permissions, calling terminate(), will permanently prevent this configuration from being used again because the state becomes State.TERMINATED. All other functions require the configuration to be in the other states (UNKNOWN, PLANNED, or EXECUTED).

In other words, the removal of the restoring option for the configuration through EmergencyBrake is permanent.

## [L-12] ERC20Rewards.sol: Have a method to calculate the latest rewardsPerToken accumulated value

This would be equivalent to Unipool’s rewardPerToken() function. Note that rewardsPerToken.accumulated only reflects the latest stored accumulated value, but does not account for pending accumulation like Unipool, and is therefore not the same. It possibly might be mistaken to be so, hence the low risk classification.

A possible implementation is given below.

function latestRewardPerToken() external view returns (uint256) {
RewardsPerToken memory rewardsPerToken_ = rewardsPerToken;
if (_totalSupply == 0) return rewardsPerToken_.accumulated;
uint32 end = earliest(block.timestamp.u32(), rewardsPeriod.end);
uint256 timeSinceLastUpdated = end - rewardsPerToken_.lastUpdated;
return rewardsPerToken_.accumulated + 1e18 * timeSinceLastUpdated * rewardsPerToken_.rate / _totalSupply;
}
