Referral info is set to the wrong address

Summary

Referral info is set to the wrong address.

Vulnerability Details

In SystemConfig.updateReferrerInfo the referral info is incorrectly set to the _referrer address instead of the _msgSender() address. Meaning that all referrers will refer to themselves and that anyone can set the referral of anyone else.

Impact

Anyone can set the referral of anyone else, which completely breaks the referral system.

Tools Used

Manual inspection.

Recommendations

- ReferralInfo storage referralInfo = referralInfoMap[_referrer];
+ ReferralInfo storage referralInfo = referralInfoMap[_msgSender()];
referralInfo.referrer = _referrer;
referralInfo.referrerRate = _referrerRate;
referralInfo.authorityRate = _authorityRate;

Valid high severity. There are two impacts here due to the wrong setting of the `refferalInfoMap` mapping. 1. Wrong refferal info is always set, so the refferal will always be delegated to the refferer address instead of the caller 2. Anybody can arbitrarily change the referrer and referrer rate of any user, resulting in gaming of the refferal system I prefer #1500 description the most, be cause it seems to be the only issue although without a poc to fully describe all of the possible impacts
