LiquidationPool : Lack of stale price check when `distributeAssets`

ak1

Summary

Staleness of chain-link price is not validated when fetching and using in distributeAssets.

Vulnerability Details

distributeAssets function would be used to distribute the assets to the holder based on their staked portion.
This function is called from the LiquidationPoolManager while running the liquidation.

function distributeAssets(ILiquidationPoolManager.Asset[] memory _assets, uint256 _collateralRate, uint256 _hundredPC) external payable {
consolidatePendingStakes();
(,int256 priceEurUsd,,,) = Chainlink.AggregatorV3Interface(eurUsd).latestRoundData(); --->> refer .. price is not validated
uint256 stakeTotal = getStakeTotal();
uint256 burnEuros;
uint256 nativePurchased;
for (uint256 j = 0; j < holders.length; j++) {
Position memory _position = positions[holders[j]];
uint256 _positionStake = stake(_position);
if (_positionStake > 0) {
for (uint256 i = 0; i < _assets.length; i++) {
ILiquidationPoolManager.Asset memory asset = _assets[i];
if (asset.amount > 0) {
(,int256 assetPriceUsd,,,) = Chainlink.AggregatorV3Interface(asset.token.clAddr).latestRoundData();--->> refer .. price is not validated
uint256 _portion = asset.amount * _positionStake / stakeTotal;
uint256 costInEuros = _portion * 10 ** (18 - asset.token.dec) * uint256(assetPriceUsd) / uint256(priceEurUsd)
* _hundredPC / _collateralRate;
if (costInEuros > _position.EUROs) {
_portion = _portion * _position.EUROs / costInEuros;
costInEuros = _position.EUROs;
}
_position.EUROs -= costInEuros;
rewards[abi.encodePacked(_position.holder, asset.token.symbol)] += _portion;
burnEuros += costInEuros;
if (asset.token.addr == address(0)) {
nativePurchased += _portion;
} else {
IERC20(asset.token.addr).safeTransferFrom(manager, address(this), _portion);
}
}
}
}
positions[holders[j]] = _position;
}
if (burnEuros > 0) IEUROs(EUROs).burn(address(this), burnEuros);
returnUnpurchasedNative(_assets, nativePurchased);
}

Impact

Incorrect price would be used to decide the token price would be lead to allocating the less or more shares to the stakers.

Tools Used

Manual review.

Recommendations

we suggest to follow chain-link recommended method to validate the price staleness and use it.
