OrderBook

The `OrderBook` contract lacks reentrancy protection on key functions that interact with user funds and token transfers.

​

Specifically:

​

`buyOrder()`, `amendSellOrder()`, `cancelSellOrder()`, `withdrawFees()`

​

While `SafeERC20` is used, it does not protect against reentrancy attacks initiated by malicious or non-standard ERC20 tokens that may invoke reentrant calls via fallback or hook mechanisms (e.g., transfer, approve, transferFrom behaviors).

​

This violates a widely accepted best practice: using the Checks-Effects-Interactions (CEI) pattern along with nonReentrant modifiers in any function that handles external token transfers.

​

A malicious token could re-enter functions like `withdrawFees()` or `buyOrder()`, potentially interfering with internal state updates like `totalFees`, `order.isActive`, etc.

​

Combined with CEI violations (which you’ve already flagged), this can lead to:

​

- Double-withdrawal of fees

​

- Inconsistent order status

​

- Unintended token drains

​

While such attacks are rare in well-behaved ERC20 tokens, many tokens (especially wrapped tokens, proxies, or composable contracts) have custom fallback behaviors that can break assumptions.

​

Imagine a malicious token that implements the following pattern:

​

```javascript

function transfer(address to, uint256 amount) public override returns (bool) {

// Callback on transfer (not part of ERC20, but possible)

OrderBook(orderBookAddress).withdrawFees(attackerAddress); // Reentrant call

return true;

}

```

​

If the `OrderBook` contract sends such a token or receives it via `safeTransferFrom`, it executes the transfer, which then re-enters into a vulnerable function, bypassing internal logic due to improper CEI or no guard.

​

​

1. Inherit ReentrancyGuard from OpenZeppelin:

​

```javascript

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/security/ReentrancyGuard.sol";

​

contract OrderBook is Ownable, ReentrancyGuard {

...

}

```

​

2. Add nonReentrant modifier to sensitive external functions:

​

```javascript

function buyOrder(uint256 _orderId) public nonReentrant { ... }

function cancelSellOrder(uint256 _orderId) public nonReentrant { ... }

function amendSellOrder(...) public nonReentrant { ... }

function withdrawFees(address _to) public onlyOwner nonReentrant { ... }

​

```
