The airdrop is intended to distribute 25 USDC to each of four recipients. USDC uses six decimal places, so each recipient’s allocation should be represented as 25 * 1e6 token units, and the contract should be funded with 100 * 1e6 token units.
The Merkle tree uses 25 * 1e18 as each recipient’s allocation, and the deployed Merkle root commits to those amounts. The deployment script funds the airdrop with only 4 * (25 * 1e6) token units. Therefore, each valid proof requests 25e18 units while the entire airdrop holds only 100e6 units, causing every token transfer to revert for insufficient balance.
Likelihood:
The production deployment funds the airdrop with s_amountToAirdrop.
An eligible recipient submits their valid Merkle proof containing the 25e18 allocation.
Impact:
Every valid claim reverts because the airdrop balance is substantially lower than the allocation encoded in the Merkle proof.
None of the intended recipients can receive their USDC allocation, rendering the airdrop permanently unusable.
The PoC deploys an airdrop using the production Merkle root, funds it with the production funding amount, and submits the valid proof for the first recipient. The proof is accepted, but safeTransfer reverts because the contract holds 100e6 units and the claim requests 25e18 units.
Generate the Merkle tree with the token’s actual six-decimal unit amount, then replace s_merkleRoot with the newly generated root before deployment. This ensures that each proven allocation is 25e6 units, matching the 100e6 units transferred to the airdrop contract.
## Description `Deploy.s.sol` script provide the wrong value causing eligible address can not claim when the contract are deployed using the script. ## Vulnerability Details There are mismatch in value of merkle tree and merkle proof provided in `Deploy.s.sol` and `MerkleAirdropTest.t.sol` as the latter provided the correct value but the `Deploy.s.sol` script provide the wrong value causing eligible address can not claim when the contract are deployed using the script. NOTE: this assume the value of `s_zkSyncUSDC` used in `Deploy.s.sol` are already corrected using `0x1d17CBcF0D6D143135aE902365D2E5e2A16538D4` otherwise it would revert and not showing `MerkleAirdrop__InvalidProof` error. If we run `yarn run makeMerkle` the following value would be returned: ```bash Merkle Root: 0xf69aaa25bd4dd10deb2ccd8235266f7cc815f6e9d539e9f4d47cae16e0c36a05 Proof for address: 0x20F41376c713072937eb02Be70ee1eD0D639966C with amount: 25000000000000000000: [ '0x4fd31fee0e75780cd67704fbc43caee70fddcaa43631e2e1bc9fb233fada2394', '0xc88d18957ad6849229355580c1bde5de3ae3b78024db2e6c2a9ad674f7b59f84' ] ``` the Merkle Root value `0xf69aaa25bd4dd10deb2ccd8235266f7cc815f6e9d539e9f4d47cae16e0c36a05` are used in the `Deploy.s.sol` script: ```javascript @> bytes32 public s_merkleRoot = 0xf69aaa25bd4dd10deb2ccd8235266f7cc815f6e9d539e9f4d47cae16e0c36a05; // 4 users, 25 USDC each uint256 public s_amountToAirdrop = 4 * (25 * 1e6); ``` this is problematic because the intended value for every claim is `25 USDC` or `25 * 1e6` because USDC decimal is 6 instead of 18, and the above Merkle Root value are intended for `25 * 1e18`. the `claim` function cannot be called successfully because the contract only held `s_amountToAirdrop = 4 * (25 * 1e6)` USDC and user cannot claim `25 * 1e18` as this is wrong value. <details><summary>PoC</summary> Add your zksync rpc url `ZKSYNC_MAINNET_RPC_URL` to `.env` file.
