Unchecked Assumptions in State Management

Summary

Certain functions make unchecked assumptions about input values or contract states, leading to unexpected behavior if those assumptions do not hold true.

Vulnerability Details

Several functions assume that specific conditions will always be met without explicitly enforcing them. For example, a function may assume a variable is nonzero or that an external call will always return a valid response.

Example:

require(userBalances[msg.sender] > 0, "No balance");

While the require statement mitigates some risk, other unchecked variables could cause logic errors.

Impact

  • May cause unexpected errors in edge cases.

  • Could be exploited in rare scenarios to manipulate behavior.

Tools Used

  • Static analysis

  • Code inspection

Recommendations

  • Explicitly validate inputs and return values.

  • Implement fail-safes for unexpected states.
