`SystemConfig::updateReferrerInfo` is wrongly updating the `ReferralInfo`

shahilhussain

Summary

SystemConfig::updateReferrerInfo is supposed to update the ReferralInfoof the user/msg.sender but instead it is updating the ReferralInfoof _referrer.

Vulnerability Details

Github:- https://github.com/Cyfrin/2024-08-tadle/blob/04fd8634701697184a3f3a5558b41c109866e5f8/src/core/SystemConfig.sol#L69

function updateReferrerInfo(
address _referrer,
uint256 _referrerRate,
uint256 _authorityRate
) external {
.
.
.
​
@> ReferralInfo storage referralInfo = referralInfoMap[_referrer];
referralInfo.referrer = _referrer;
referralInfo.referrerRate = _referrerRate;
referralInfo.authorityRate = _authorityRate;
.
.
.
}

Here we can see that instead of updating the ReferralInfoof msg.senderwe are updating for _referrerand making itself the referrer

Impact

Any user can call this function and can set the referrerof _referrerto itself.

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
