The Chainlink price feed lacks adequate validation, potentially resulting in the retrieval of stale or outdated price data.
There is no validation to check if the answer (or price) received was actually a stale one. Reasons for a price feed to stop updating are listed here(https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/133242/how-future-resilient-is-a-chainlink-price-feed/133843#133843). Using a stale price in the application can result in wrong calculations.

The latestRoundData fetches the asset price from a Chainlink aggregator using the latestRoundData function. However, there are no checks if the price is stale and valid.
According to Chainlink's documentation, This function does not error if no answer has been reached but returns 0, causing an incorrect price fed. The external Chainlink oracle, which provides index price information to the system, introduces risk inherent to any dependency on third-party data sources. For example, the oracle could fall behind or otherwise fail to be maintained, resulting in outdated data being fed to the index price calculations of the liquidity.
