Summary
The Rustfund smart contract contains a Critical severity vulnerability where the contribution amount isn't properly recorded in the contribution account, allowing users to refund multiple times and potentially drain the entire fund balance.
Vulnerability Details
In the contribute() function, the contribution amount is added to the fund's amount_raised but is not stored in the contribution account:
pub fn contribute(ctx: Context<FundContribute>, amount: u64) -> Result<()> {
let fund = &mut ctx.accounts.fund;
let contribution = &mut ctx.accounts.contribution;
if contribution.contributor == Pubkey::default() {
contribution.contributor = ctx.accounts.contributor.key();
contribution.fund = fund.key();
contribution.amount = 0;
}
let cpi_context = CpiContext::new(
ctx.accounts.system_program.to_account_info(),
system_program::Transfer {
from: ctx.accounts.contributor.to_account_info(),
to: fund.to_account_info(),
},
);
system_program::transfer(cpi_context, amount)?;
fund.amount_raised += amount;
Ok(())
}
The bug is that contribution.amount is set to 0 when the account is initialized, but it's never updated with the actual contribution amount. When a user calls the refund() function, it uses contribution.amount to determine how much to refund:
pub fn refund(ctx: Context<FundRefund>) -> Result<()> {
let amount = ctx.accounts.contribution.amount;
**ctx.accounts.fund.to_account_info().try_borrow_mut_lamports()? =
ctx.accounts.fund.to_account_info().lamports()
.checked_sub(amount)
.ok_or(ProgramError::InsufficientFunds)?;
**ctx.accounts.contributor.to_account_info().try_borrow_mut_lamports()? =
ctx.accounts.contributor.to_account_info().lamports()
.checked_add(amount)
.ok_or(ErrorCode::CalculationOverflow)?;
ctx.accounts.contribution.amount = 0;
Ok(())
}
Since the contribution.amount isn't updated in contribute(), it's always 0, which means the refund operation doesn't actually refund anything. However, if an attacker manually sets contribution.amount to a non-zero value (through another attack vector or direct account modification), they could exploit this to drain funds.
Impact
This vulnerability has high severity because:
It allows users to potentially drain the entire fund balance through multiple refunds
It undermines the core accounting functionality of the contract
It affects both contributors and fund creators, potentially leading to total fund loss

Recommendations
Update the contribution amount during the contribute function:
pub fn contribute(ctx: Context<FundContribute>, amount: u64) -> Result<()> {
let fund = &mut ctx.accounts.fund;
let contribution = &mut ctx.accounts.contribution;
if contribution.contributor == Pubkey::default() {
contribution.contributor = ctx.accounts.contributor.key();
contribution.fund = fund.key();
contribution.amount = 0;
}
let cpi_context = CpiContext::new(
ctx.accounts.system_program.to_account_info(),
system_program::Transfer {
from: ctx.accounts.contributor.to_account_info(),
to: fund.to_account_info(),
},
);
system_program::transfer(cpi_context, amount)?;
contribution.amount = contribution.amount.checked_add(amount)
.ok_or(ErrorCode::CalculationOverflow)?;
fund.amount_raised = fund.amount_raised.checked_add(amount)
.ok_or(ErrorCode::CalculationOverflow)?;
Ok(())
}
