Debt and Collateral token amounts rather than value considered

Summary

In the protocol,the Debt and Collateral token amounts rather than value is considered. This breaks the protocol.

Vulnerability Details

The lender fixes the loanToken and collateralToken of choice in the setting up of the pool.

The amount of loanTokens to be loaned are transferred by the lender to the pool contract via function setPool.

function setPool(Pool calldata p) public returns (bytes32 poolId) {
// validate the pool
if (
p.lender != msg.sender ||
p.minLoanSize == 0 ||
p.maxLoanRatio == 0 ||
p.auctionLength == 0 ||
p.auctionLength > MAX_AUCTION_LENGTH ||
p.interestRate > MAX_INTEREST_RATE
) revert PoolConfig();
// check if they already have a pool balance
poolId = getPoolId(p.lender, p.loanToken, p.collateralToken);
// you can't change the outstanding loans
if (p.outstandingLoans != pools[poolId].outstandingLoans)
revert PoolConfig();
uint256 currentBalance = pools[poolId].poolBalance;
if (p.poolBalance > currentBalance) {
// if new balance > current balance then transfer the difference from the lender
IERC20(p.loanToken).transferFrom(
p.lender,
address(this),
p.poolBalance - currentBalance
);
} else if (p.poolBalance < currentBalance) {
// if new balance < current balance then transfer the difference back to the lender
IERC20(p.loanToken).transfer(
p.lender,
currentBalance - p.poolBalance
);
}

Borrowers can specify the amount to borrow and collateral tokens to deposit. However, the protocol does not convert the tokens to the relative value of the debt tokens in the accounting methodology.

function borrow(Borrow[] calldata borrows) public {
for (uint256 i = 0; i < borrows.length; i++) {
bytes32 poolId = borrows[i].poolId;
uint256 debt = borrows[i].debt;
uint256 collateral = borrows[i].collateral;
// get the pool info
Pool memory pool = pools[poolId];
// make sure the pool exists
if (pool.lender == address(0)) revert PoolConfig();
// validate the loan
if (debt < pool.minLoanSize) revert LoanTooSmall();
if (debt > pool.poolBalance) revert LoanTooLarge();
if (collateral == 0) revert ZeroCollateral();
// make sure the user isn't borrowing too much
uint256 loanRatio = (debt * 10 ** 18) / collateral;
if (loanRatio > pool.maxLoanRatio) revert RatioTooHigh();
// create the loan
Loan memory loan = Loan({
lender: pool.lender,
borrower: msg.sender,
loanToken: pool.loanToken,
collateralToken: pool.collateralToken,
debt: debt,
collateral: collateral,
interestRate: pool.interestRate,
startTimestamp: block.timestamp,
auctionStartTimestamp: type(uint256).max,
auctionLength: pool.auctionLength
});
// update the pool balance
_updatePoolBalance(poolId, pools[poolId].poolBalance - debt);
pools[poolId].outstandingLoans += debt;
// calculate the fees
uint256 fees = (debt * borrowerFee) / 10000;
// transfer fees
IERC20(loan.loanToken).transfer(feeReceiver, fees);
// transfer the loan tokens from the pool to the borrower
IERC20(loan.loanToken).transfer(msg.sender, debt - fees);
// transfer the collateral tokens from the borrower to the contract
IERC20(loan.collateralToken).transferFrom(
msg.sender,
address(this),
collateral
);
loans.push(loan);
emit Borrowed(
msg.sender,
pool.lender,
loans.length - 1,
debt,
collateral,
pool.interestRate,
block.timestamp
);
}
}

Consider the scenario:

  • loanToken = USDC

  • collateralToken = ETH

This means that for a collaterization ratio of 200% (LTV = 0.5), borrowers need to deposit 2 ETH in order to borrow 1 USDC.

On the flipside, where:

  • loanToken = ETH

  • collateralToken = USDC

This means that for a collaterization ratio of 200% (LTV = 0.5), borrowers only need to deposit 2 USDC in order to borrow 1 ETH.

This breaks the functionality of the protocol.

The only time the current accounting would work is if the loanToken and collateralToken is the same - it does not make business sense to set up such a pool.

Recommendations

Accounting methodology should consider value of tokens rather than number of tokens.
