listingsCounter Variable Is Incremented But Never Used as Mapping Key - Listing ID System Broken

Author Revealed upon completion

Root cause is that listingsCounter is incremented in list() but never used as the mapping key for s_listings. Instead, tokenId is used as the key, causing listing ID confusion. The event emits listingsCounter but the data is stored at tokenId, making it impossible to track listings properly.

Impact: Listing management is broken - cannot track multiple listings of the same token. When an NFT is listed, sold, and relisted, data may be corrupted. Buyers cannot purchase using the emitted listingId. Creates confusion between listingId and tokenId throughout the protocol.

Description

The NFT Dealers protocol is designed to track NFT listings using a unique listing ID system. The listingsCounter variable should increment with each new listing and serve as the unique identifier for looking up listing data in s_listings mapping.
However, listingsCounter is incremented but never used as the mapping key. Instead, tokenId is used as the key for s_listings. This means the event emits listingsCounter but the data is stored at tokenId, causing mismatch. When the same NFT is relisted after being delisted, the listingId from the event won't match the actual storage location.

// src/NFTDealers.sol::list()

function list(uint256 _tokenId, uint32 _price) external onlyWhenRevealed onlyWhitelisted {

if (_price == 0) revert PriceTooLow();

if (ownerOf(_tokenId) != msg.sender) revert InvalidAddress();

if (s_listings[_tokenId].isActive) revert InvalidListing();

@> listingsCounter++; // ❌ Incremented but never used as key

s_listings[_tokenId] = Listing({ // ❌ Uses tokenId as key instead

seller: msg.sender,

tokenId: _tokenId,

price: _price,

isActive: true

});

emit NFT_Dealers_Listed(msg.sender, listingsCounter); // ❌ Emits counter but data at tokenId

}

// src/NFTDealers.sol::buy()

function buy(uint256 _listingId) external payable {

@> Listing storage listing = s_listings[_listingId]; // ❌ Uses _listingId as key but data stored at tokenId

if (!listing.isActive) revert ListingNotActive(_listingId);

// ...

}

Risk

Likelihood:

This occurs on EVERY listing when the same tokenId is listed after being delisted
The mismatch between emitted listingId and storage key affects all buy/cancel operations

Impact:

Listing management broken - cannot track multiple listings of the same token
Buyers cannot purchase using emitted listingId - must guess tokenId instead

Proof of Concept

The following PoC demonstrates that listingsCounter is incremented but s_listings uses tokenId as the key. When an NFT is listed, the event emits listingsCounter but the data is stored at tokenId, causing mismatch.

}

Proof of Concept (Foundry Test with 3 POC Tests for Every Possible Scenario)

The comprehensive test suite below validates the vulnerability across three scenarios: (1) First listing works only because tokenId equals listingsCounter, (2) Relisting same token causes data corruption - buy with listingId fails, (3) Multiple NFTs show no proper listing ID system exists. All tests pass and confirm the vulnerability.

* ============================================================

* POC-H02: listingsCounter Not Used as Listing ID

* Listing management broken - cannot track multiple listings

* Severity : HIGH

* Contract : NFTDealers.sol

* Function : list(), buy(), cancelListing()

* Author: Sudan249 AKA 0xAljzoli

* ============================================================

* VULNERABLE CODE:

* function list(uint256 _tokenId, uint32 _price) external {

* listingsCounter++; // ❌ Incremented but never used as key

* s_listings[_tokenId] = Listing(...); // ❌ Uses tokenId as key

* emit NFT_Dealers_Listed(msg.sender, listingsCounter);

* }

* IMPACT:

* - listingsCounter is incremented but s_listings uses tokenId as key

* - buy() and cancelListing() expect listingId but get tokenId

* - If NFT is listed, sold, and listed again, data may be corrupted

* - Cannot properly track listing history

* - Event emits wrong ID for lookup

* FIX:

* - Use listingsCounter as the actual mapping key

* - Create separate mapping: tokenId => listingId for lookups

* - Update buy() and cancelListing() to use proper listingId

console.log(" - Cannot distinguish between listing instances");

}

Recommended Mitigation

The fix uses listingsCounter as the actual mapping key for s_listings. A separate mapping tracks tokenId to listingId for lookups. This ensures each listing has a unique ID that matches the emitted event.

- mapping(uint256 => Listing) public s_listings;

+ mapping(uint256 => Listing) public s_listings; // Now keyed by listingId

+ mapping(uint256 => uint256) public tokenIdToListingId; // New: track tokenId to listingId

- function list(uint256 _tokenId, uint32 _price) external {

+ function list(uint256 _tokenId, uint32 _price) external {

if (_price == 0) revert PriceTooLow();

if (ownerOf(_tokenId) != msg.sender) revert InvalidAddress();

+ listingsCounter++; // ✅ Use as listingId

+ uint256 listingId = listingsCounter;

+ s_listings[listingId] = Listing({ // ✅ Store at listingId

+ seller: msg.sender,

+ tokenId: _tokenId,

+ price: _price,

+ isActive: true

+ });

+ tokenIdToListingId[_tokenId] = listingId; // ✅ Track tokenId to listingId

- listingsCounter++;

- s_listings[_tokenId] = Listing({

- seller: msg.sender,

- tokenId: _tokenId,

- price: _price,

- isActive: true

- });

emit NFT_Dealers_Listed(msg.sender, listingsCounter);

}

- function buy(uint256 _listingId) external payable {

- Listing storage listing = s_listings[_listingId];

+ function buy(uint256 _listingId) external payable {

+ Listing storage listing = s_listings[_listingId]; // ✅ Now correctly keyed by listingId

if (!listing.isActive) revert ListingNotActive(_listingId);

// ... rest unchanged

}

Mitigation Explanation: The fix addresses the root cause by: (1) Using listingsCounter as the actual mapping key for s_listings, ensuring each listing has a unique ID, (2) Adding a new tokenIdToListingId mapping to track which tokenId corresponds to which listingId, (3) Updating buy() and cancelListing() to work with the new listingId-based storage, (4) This ensures the emitted listingId in events matches the actual storage location, allowing proper tracking of multiple listings and relists.
