Description:
The _validateTransaction
function within the smart contract does not properly handle invalid signatures, allowing any transaction with a seemingly valid signature to be executed. This oversight enables anyone to submit a transaction with a random signature, which the contract will execute without verifying the authenticity of the signature.
Impact:
This vulnerability allows anyone to execute commands on the affected wallet, potentially leading to unauthorized asset transfers, ownership changes, or other malicious actions. The severity of the impact depends on the permissions granted by the wallet and the potential for exploitation.
Proof of Concept:
The provided proof of concept demonstrates how an attacker can forge a signature and execute a transaction through the executeTransactionFromOutside
function. The test case creates a fake signature for a transaction and executes it, successfully minting new tokens to the attacker's address.
Recommended Mitigation:
To address the vulnerability where anyone can execute transactions using executeTransactionFromOutside
due to the _validateTransaction
function not reverting with invalid signatures, implement a check in both executeTransactionFromOutside
and executeTransaction
functions to ensure the magic number matches ACCOUNT_VALIDATION_SUCCESS_MAGIC
. This check will prevent the execution of transactions with invalid signatures. Below is the fixed version of executeTransactionFromOutside
:
This modification ensures that the contract only processes transactions with valid signatures, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized transactions being executed. It's crucial to apply similar validation in other functions that accept and execute transactions to maintain the integrity and security of the contract.
