Developer assumes the chainlink price decimals will always be 8
It is an error to assume that every price feed will report prices using the same precision. Generally, non-ETH pairs report using 8 decimals, while ETH pairs report using 18 decimals
The price oracle's response is always assumed to have 8 decimals, but there is no validation to ensure this using ChainLink’s .decimals()
function

Refer section - Assuming Oracle Price Precision
If the protocol admin ever configures a price feed oracle with more than 8 decimals, it could result in inflated prices across the system.
Manual Review
Consider verifying that AggregatorV2V3Interface(dataFeed[token]) == 8
or use AggregatorV2V3Interface(dataFeed[token]).decimals() to get the correct decimals in KeeperProxy.sol contract as shown below
Please read the CodeHawks documentation to know which submissions are valid. If you disagree, provide a coded PoC and explain the real likelihood and the detailed impact on the mainnet without any supposition (if, it could, etc) to prove your point. Keepers are added by the admin, there is no "malicious keeper" and if there is a problem in those keepers, that's out of scope. ReadMe and known issues states: " * System relies heavily on keeper for executing trades * Single keeper point of failure if not properly distributed * Malicious keeper could potentially front-run or delay transactions * Assume that Keeper will always have enough gas to execute transactions. There is a pay execution fee function, but the assumption should be that there's more than enough gas to cover transaction failures, retries, etc * There are two spot swap functionalies: (1) using GMX swap and (2) using Paraswap. We can assume that any swap failure will be retried until success. " " * Heavy dependency on GMX protocol functioning correctly * Owner can update GMX-related addresses * Changes in GMX protocol could impact system operations * We can assume that the GMX keeper won't misbehave, delay, or go offline. " "Issues related to GMX Keepers being DOS'd or losing functionality would be considered invalid."
There is no real proof, concrete root cause, specific impact, or enough details in those submissions. Examples include: "It could happen" without specifying when, "If this impossible case happens," "Unexpected behavior," etc. Make a Proof of Concept (PoC) using external functions and realistic parameters. Do not test only the internal function where you think you found something.
