Submission Details
Severity:
Use `bytes.concat()` on bytes instead of `abi.encodePacked()`
Summary
Starting with version 0.8.4, Solidity has the bytes.concat function which can concatenate an arbitrary number of bytes or bytes1 ... bytes32 values. The function returns a single bytes memory array that contains the contents of the arguments without padding. See The functions bytes.concat and string.concat.
