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.
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.
