Users that have to pay 2x the cost of treat might flood the contract with NFTs

cryptozaki

Summary

If a user has to pay 2x the cost of treat, the NFT is minted to the contract and if the user wants the NFT he has to call resolveTrickfunction. This can lead users paying only gas price for the NFT and never calling resolveTrickfunction, therefore flooding the contract with NFTs which will be forever there.

Vulnerability Details

The problem lies in these lines of the function trickOrTreat:

} else {
// User didn't send enough ETH
// Mint NFT to contract and store pending purchase
​
// @audit can we reuse the function mintTreat(address(this), treat); again here ?
// or better to mint the treat after the user pays full price
uint256 tokenId = nextTokenId;
_mint(address(this), tokenId);
_setTokenURI(tokenId, treat.metadataURI);
nextTokenId += 1;
​
// @audit - potential DoS here. If the user mints a lot of nfts but never invoke the function resolveTrick(uint256)
// it would cost more gas for other users to mint a nft
pendingNFTs[tokenId] = msg.sender;
pendingNFTsAmountPaid[tokenId] = msg.value;
tokenIdToTreatName[tokenId] = _treatName;
​
emit Swapped(msg.sender, _treatName, tokenId);
}

As we can see the NFT is minted to the contract and the user paid partial or no amout of the cost.

Recommendations

Mint the NFT in the resolveTrickfunction instead.

Remove the following lines from trickOrTreatfunction:

​
_mint(address(this), tokenId);
_setTokenURI(tokenId, treat.metadataURI);
nextTokenId += 1;

And modify function resolveTrickto call mintTreataccordingly.
