Potential Usage Index Mismatch in DebtToken Causing Incorrect Interest Calculations

0x15_eth

Summary

The DebtToken contract relies on _usageIndex and getNormalizedDebt() from the LendingPool to track debt growth over time. However, these values may not always be synchronized, leading to misaligned debt calculations.

If _usageIndex and getNormalizedDebt() diverge, users may experience incorrect interest accrual, affecting both borrowers and liquidators.

This issue can cause unexpected overcharges or undercharges in debt calculations, creating financial inconsistencies across the protocol.

Vulnerability Details

In the DebtToken contract, different pieces of code rely on the _usageIndex and the value returned by ILendingPool(_reservePool).getNormalizedDebt() . For instance:

function balanceOf(address account) public view override(ERC20, IERC20) returns (uint256) {
uint256 scaledBalance = super.balanceOf(account);
return scaledBalance.rayMul(ILendingPool(_reservePool).getNormalizedDebt());
}
​

and

function updateUsageIndex(uint256 newUsageIndex) external override onlyReservePool {
if (newUsageIndex < _usageIndex) revert InvalidAmount();
_usageIndex = newUsageIndex;
emit UsageIndexUpdated(newUsageIndex);
}

The _usageIndex may diverge from what getNormalizedDebt() returns, or be updated at different times, so users' scaled balances can become misaligned with the actual index used for interest accrual, leading to unexpected or incorrect interest calculations.
