MultiSig Timelock

Function documentation does not match actual returned value

Description

The function getOneDayTimeDelay is documented as returning a “no time delay constant”. However, the actual implementation returns the constant ONE_DAY_TIME_DELAY, which semantically represents a one-day delay, not the absence of a delay.

This creates a discrepancy between the documentation and the function’s real behavior. Developers or integrators relying on the comments may misunderstand the purpose of the function or incorrectly assume it returns a zero or “no delay” value.

Impact

While this issue does not directly introduce a security vulnerability, misleading documentation can cause confusion, incorrect assumptions during integration, and potential logical errors in systems that depend on accurate time-delay parameters.

Proof of Concept

1. A developer reads the NatSpec comment and assumes the function returns a value representing no delay.

2. The function instead returns ONE_DAY_TIME_DELAY.

3. The returned value is used in logic that depends on timing assumptions, leading to unexpected behavior.

Recommended Mitigation

Update the NatSpec documentation to accurately reflect the function’s behavior. For example:

• Change the description to explicitly state that the function returns a one-day time delay constant, or

• Rename the function or comments to align with the intended meaning.

Keeping documentation consistent with implementation improves code clarity and reduces the risk of integration mistakes.
