pattern is vulnerable if a user changes allowance from one non-zero value to another. An attacker can front-run and spend the old allowance before the new approval is set.Risk:
Users may lose tokens unintentionally if an attacker exploits the race condition.
Reasoning:
This is a well-known ERC20 pattern issue and is not specific to your contract.
Exploitation requires an attacker to monitor for approval transactions and front-run them, which is possible but less common in practice for most tokens.
Most wallets and dApps now warn users about this and recommend safe approval patterns.
Depends on user behavior: If users follow best practices (set allowance to zero before increasing), the risk is minimal.
Summary:
Possible, but less likely unless users ignore best practices.
