Owner can incorrectly pull funds from a closed contest which has not yet expired using distributeByOwner().
The distributeByOwner() function has 5 parameters: proxy, organizer, contestId, implementation, data. However, there is no 'linkage' between proxy and the remaining params.
In order to check if the contest has expired, it uses bytes32 salt = _calculateSalt(organizer, contestId, implementation);. There is no check if this is indeed the salt of the proxy address. Hence, the owner can by mistake call distributeByOwner() with an incorrect proxy address of a contest which is closed, but not yet expired and drain its funds incorrectly.

The above is even more serious if Owner is trying to return the funds to sponsor1 using distributeByOwner(). Sponsor1 will get Sponsor2's funds (95% of funds, at the most).
OR
If the owner, upon a request from the sponsor, is trying to distribute contest_1's extra funds deposited by the sponsor as rewards to its winners. These winners would be completely different from the winners of contest_2, but funds from contest_2 will be redirected to "winner_1s".
Noteworthy is the fact that once any sponsor deposits extra funds by mistake later on (after proxy has been deployed via deployProxyAndDistribute() or similar functions & the rewards have been distributed once) he can only take the help of the owner to send the funds to any specific address(es).
Loss of funds as it can be drained by the owner by mistake from a not-yet-expired contest.
Funds/Rewards could be sent to incorrect sponsor/winners
