Summary

Inadequate Access Control in distributeByOwner Function Vulnerability in ProxyFactory Contract

Vulnerability Details

The vulnerability arises from the inadequate access control in the distributeByOwner function of the ProxyFactory contract. As the function is only restricted by the onlyOwner modifier, any address with ownership rights can call this function, potentially leading to unintended or malicious token distributions.

Impact

Inadequate access control in the distributeByOwner function could lead to unauthorized or unintended distributions of tokens. This might result in financial losses or manipulation of contest outcomes.

Tools Used

Manual code review and analysis of the access control mechanisms in the distributeByOwner function.

Recommendations

To mitigate this vulnerability, consider the following recommendations:

1. Enhanced Access Control: Implement more granular access control mechanisms to restrict the usage of the distributeByOwner function to authorized addresses or actions.

2. Multi-Signature: Consider implementing multi-signature mechanisms for sensitive functions involving distributions or fund transfers.
