Missing Nonce Validation Functionality Poses Signature Replay Attack Risk

Summary

The absence of implementation for the _validateNonce function in the contract exposes it to the risk of a signature replay attack. _validateNonce is intended to ensure that a nonce cannot be reused, thereby preventing unauthorized replay of signed transactions. However, without this validation mechanism in place, the contract is vulnerable to replay attacks, potentially compromising the security and integrity of user transactions.

Vulnerability Details

The _validateNonce function, responsible for enforcing nonce uniqueness, is missing from the contract's implementation. Nonces are crucial for preventing replay attacks by ensuring that signed transactions are executed only once. Without nonce validation, attackers could potentially replay previously signed transactions, leading to unauthorized actions and manipulation of user accounts.

function _validateNonce(uint256 nonce) internal view virtual {}

Impact

The absence of nonce validation functionality exposes the contract to signature replay attacks, jeopardizing the security of user transactions and potentially allowing malicious actors to execute unauthorized actions on behalf of users.
