Submission Details
Severity:
Game::claimThrone() is using wrong condition to validate
Root + Impact
Description
In function
claimThrone(), it's validatingmsg.sender == currentKing, this condition check is wrong.
// Root cause in the codebase with @> marks to highlight the relevant section
function claimThrone() external payable gameNotEnded nonReentrant {
require(msg.value >= claimFee, "Game: Insufficient ETH sent to claim the throne.");
@> require(msg.sender == currentKing, "Game: You are already the king. No need to re-claim.");
Risk
Likelihood:
Reason 1: When player call function
claimThrone()it will be reverted because initial state ofcurrentKingequaladdress(0)
Impact:
Impact 1: No one can call function
claimThrone()success, so no one can join this game.
Proof of Concept
In contract Game, players must start with function `claimThrone()`.
Inside this function, state currentKing is initialized.
No one can call function claimThrone() success, so state currentKing never assigned to other wallet except zero address
function claimThrone() external payable gameNotEnded nonReentrant {
require(msg.value >= claimFee, "Game: Insufficient ETH sent to claim the throne.");
require(msg.sender == currentKing, "Game: You are already the king. No need to re-claim.");
...
// Update game state
currentKing = msg.sender;
lastClaimTime = block.timestamp;
playerClaimCount[msg.sender] = playerClaimCount[msg.sender] + 1;
totalClaims = totalClaims + 1;
...
}
Recommended Mitigation
function claimThrone() external payable gameNotEnded nonReentrant {
require(msg.value >= claimFee, "Game: Insufficient ETH sent to claim the throne.");
- require(msg.sender == currentKing, "Game: You are already the king. No need to re-claim.");
+ require(msg.sender != currentKing, "Game: You are already the king. No need to re-claim.");
...
// Update game state
currentKing = msg.sender;
lastClaimTime = block.timestamp;
playerClaimCount[msg.sender] = playerClaimCount[msg.sender] + 1;
totalClaims = totalClaims + 1;
...
}
