deploy script bakes the WRONG USDC address into the immutable token pointer: every claim reverts, 100 USDC locked

hatchworker

Root + Impact

Description

  • Normal behavior: the deploy script should wire the deployed MerkleAirdrop contract to the real USDC token on zkSync Era, so eligible users can claim their 25 USDC each.

  • The issue: script/Deploy.s.sol declares one USDC address for the constructor (line 8) but a different address for funding (line 18) — the two hardcoded addresses differ by one hex nibble (verified programmatically, not an EIP-55 case difference):

    @> address public s_zkSyncUSDC = 0x1D17CbCf0D6d143135be902365d2e5E2a16538d4; // constructor arg
    IERC20(0x1d17CBcF0D6D143135aE902365D2E5e2A16538D4).transfer(address(airdrop), 100e6); // funding

    The constructor receives the wrong address into the immutable i_airdropToken while the 100 USDC funding goes to the contract in the correct token. Every claim() therefore calls safeTransfer on an address that is not the USDC contract; OpenZeppelin v5 SafeERC20 reverts (AddressEmptyCode) on calls to non-contract addresses, so all claims revert. i_airdropToken is immutable — the misconfiguration cannot be fixed post-deploy; only a redeploy helps.

Risk

  • Reason 1 // The constructor argument comes from s_zkSyncUSDC at deploy time; every deployment bakes in the wrong address.

  • Reason 2 // i_airdropToken is immutable, so the error is permanent for the deployed instance.

  • Impact 1 // Complete, permanent DoS of the airdrop: every claim reverts.

  • Impact 2 // The 100 USDC sits in the contract with no recovery path.

Proof of Concept

PoC verified by a passing Foundry test (test_PoC_H2_WrongTokenAddressBricksEveryClaim): the contract is constructed with a non-token address and funded with the real token; a fully eligible claim with a valid proof reverts, and the funds remain locked.

Recommended Mitigation

Use one variable consistently with the correct zkSync Era USDC address — define the USDC address once and reference it for both the constructor argument and the funding transfer.

[H-01] Address of USDC token in `Deploy.s.sol` is wrong causing the claiming process to fail

## Description The `s_zkSyncUSDC` address in `Deploy.s.sol` is incorrectly set, leading to a failure in the claiming process. This error results in funds being stuck in the `MerkleAirdrop` contract due to the immutability of the token address. ## Impact All funds become permanently trapped in the `MerkleAirdrop` contract, rendering them inaccessible for claiming or transfer. **Proof of Concept:** To demonstrate the issue, a test contract can be added and executed using the following command: `forge test --zksync --rpc-url $RPC_ZKSYNC --mt testDeployOnZkSync` Use the RPC URL `https://mainnet.era.zksync.io` for testing. <details> <summary>Proof Of Code</summary> ```javascript // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT pragma solidity 0.8.24; import { MerkleAirdrop, IERC20 } from "../src/MerkleAirdrop.sol"; import { Test, console2 } from "forge-std/Test.sol"; contract MerkleAirdropTest is Test { MerkleAirdrop public s_airdrop; uint256 s_amountToCollect = (25 * 1e6); // 25.000000 address s_collectorOne = 0x20F41376c713072937eb02Be70ee1eD0D639966C; bytes32 s_proofOne = 0x32cee63464b09930b5c3f59f955c86694a4c640a03aa57e6f743d8a3ca5c8838; bytes32 s_proofTwo = 0x8ff683185668cbe035a18fccec4080d7a0331bb1bbc532324f40501de5e8ea5c; bytes32[] s_proof = [s_proofOne, s_proofTwo]; address public deployer; // From Deploy.t.sol bytes32 public s_merkleRoot = 0x3b2e22da63ae414086bec9c9da6b685f790c6fab200c7918f2879f08793d77bd; address public s_zkSyncUSDC = 0x1d17CBcF0D6D143135aE902365D2E5e2A16538D4; uint256 public s_amountToAirdrop = 4 * (25 * 1e6); function setUp() public { deployer = makeAddr("deployer"); deal(0x1D17CbCf0D6d143135be902365d2e5E2a16538d4, deployer, 100 * 1e6); vm.deal(s_collectorOne, 100 ether); } function testDeployOnZkSync() public { if (block.chainid != 324) { return; } vm.startPrank(deployer); // From here there is the code from run() s_airdrop = deployMerkleDropper(s_merkleRoot, IERC20(s_zkSyncUSDC)); // Send USDC -> Merkle Air Dropper IERC20(0x1d17CBcF0D6D143135aE902365D2E5e2A16538D4).transfer(address(s_airdrop), s_amountToAirdrop); // end code from run vm.stopPrank(); vm.startPrank(s_collectorOne); s_airdrop.claim{ value: s_airdrop.getFee() }(s_collectorOne, s_amountToCollect, s_proof); vm.stopPrank(); } function deployMerkleDropper(bytes32 merkleRoot, IERC20 zkSyncUSDC) public returns (MerkleAirdrop) { return (new MerkleAirdrop(merkleRoot, zkSyncUSDC)); } } ``` </details> ## Recommendations To resolve the issue, update the s_zkSyncUSDC address in Deploy.s.sol to the correct value: ```diff - address public s_zkSyncUSDC = 0x1D17CbCf0D6d143135be902365d2e5E2a16538d4; + address public s_zkSyncUSDC = 0x1d17CBcF0D6D143135aE902365D2E5e2A16538D4; ```
