Single step ownership could be a risk
Summary
Single step ownership transfer is not a good practice.
Vulnerability Details
The ownership of the contracts can be lost as the contracts inherits from the Ownable contract and their ownership can be transferred in a single-step process. If the nominated EOA account is not a valid account, it is entirely possible that the owner may accidentally transfer ownership to an uncontrolled account, losing the access to all functions with the onlyOwner modifier. The address the ownership is changed to should be verified to be active or willing to act as the owner.
Impact
All contracts that implement Ownable pattern/process could become unusable.
Tools Used
Manual review
Recommendations
Consider using the Ownable2Step library over the Ownable library or implementing similar two-step ownership transfer logic into the contract
