Frontrunning share manipulation

Description:

An attacker can front-run a deposit transaction by depositing a small amount just before a larger deposit. This temporarily inflates the total collateral balance, causing the victim's deposit to receive fewer shares.

Impact:

  • Theft of value from legitimate depositors.

  • Undermines the Total Shares Consistency invariant.

Affected Code:

  • PerpetualVault.sol#deposit() calculates shares using real-time balances.

Recommendation:
Implement a commit-reveal scheme for deposits or use a time-weighted average balance to calculate shares.
