Summary

It is generally recommended to use a fixed version number in Solidity rather than a version range that includes minor updates.

Vulnerability Details

The reason for this is that minor updates to a Solidity version can introduce changes that affect the behavior of your smart contract. These changes may not necessarily be backward-compatible, which means that your smart contract could break or behave unexpectedly when run on a newer minor version.

Additionally, using a fixed version number makes your code more explicit and easier to understand, as it removes any ambiguity around which version of Solidity is being used.

Recommendations

By specifying a fixed version number, you ensure that your smart contract is only compiled and deployed with a specific version of Solidity, which reduces the risk of compatibility issues and unexpected behavior.
