The protocol description says each mutual match should pool the ETH associated with those two users' matching relationship.
The implementation instead uses a single global userBalances[user] bucket for all likes made by that user, regardless of which counterpart the payment relates to.
When any one mutual match occurs, matchRewards() zeroes both users' entire balances and routes all accumulated value into that first match's multisig wallet.
This causes later matches involving those users to be underfunded or receive nothing, and it allocates value to the wrong pair.
Likelihood:
The issue occurs naturally as soon as one user spends ETH liking multiple profiles before receiving a mutual like.
No malicious contract behavior is required; normal user activity is sufficient.
Impact:
Funds intended for future matches are consumed by the first mutual match that settles.
The payout logic becomes unfair and inconsistent with the protocol's intended relationship-based reward model.
## Description `LikeRegistry::matchRewards` resets the matched users' `userBalances`. However, if a previously matched user gets liked and matched later on, the share multisig wallet will contain no funds from him. Technically, this scenario isn't possible due to a bug where `userBalances` is never updated with user funds, but the flawed logic is still there. ## Vulnerability Details Upon a match, `LikeRegistry::matchRewards` gets called. ```js function matchRewards(address from, address to) internal { uint256 matchUserOne = userBalances[from]; uint256 matchUserTwo = userBalances[to]; // [1] userBalances[from] = 0; userBalances[to] = 0; // [2] uint256 totalRewards = matchUserOne + matchUserTwo; // [3] uint256 matchingFees = (totalRewards * FIXEDFEE) / 100; uint256 rewards = totalRewards - matchingFees; totalFees += matchingFees; // Deploy a MultiSig contract for the matched users MultiSigWallet multiSigWallet = new MultiSigWallet(from, to); // [4] // Send ETH to the deployed multisig wallet (bool success,) = payable(address(multiSigWallet)).call{value: rewards}(""); require(success, "Transfer failed"); } ``` `matchRewards` will collect (`[2]`) all their previous like payments (minus a 10% fee `[3]`) and finally create a shared multisig wallet between the two users, which they can access for their first date (`[4]`). Note how `userBalances` is reset at `[1]`. Imagine the following scenario: 1. bob likes alice - `userBalance[bob] += 1 ETH` 2. bob likes angie - `userBalance[bob] += 1 ETH` 3. alice likes bob (match) - `userBalance[alice] += 1 ETH` - reset of `userBalance[alice]` and `userBalance[bob]` 4. angie likes alex - `userBalance[angie] += 1 ETH` 5. angie likes tony - `userBalance[angie] += 1 ETH` 6. angie likes bob (match) - `userBalance[angie] += 1 ETH` (total of 3 ETH) - `userBalance[bob]` is reset from bob's previous match with alice 7. shared multisig wallet is created using only angie's funds ## Proof of Concept To demonstrate the aforementioned scenario, apply the following patch in `LikeRegistry::likeUser` in order to update `userBalances` properly, ```diff function likeUser(address liked) external payable { require(msg.value >= 1 ether, "Must send at least 1 ETH"); require(!likes[msg.sender][liked], "Already liked"); require(msg.sender != liked, "Cannot like yourself"); require( profileNFT.profileToToken(msg.sender) != 0, "Must have a profile NFT" ); require( profileNFT.profileToToken(liked) != 0, "Liked user must have a profile NFT" ); + userBalances[msg.sender] += msg.value; likes[msg.sender][liked] = true; emit Liked(msg.sender, liked); // Check if mutual like if (likes[liked][msg.sender]) { matches[msg.sender].push(liked); matches[liked].push(msg.sender); emit Matched(msg.sender, liked); matchRewards(liked, msg.sender); } } ``` as well as a few logs in `LikeRegistry::matchRewards`: ```js function matchRewards(address from, address to) internal { uint256 matchUserOne = userBalances[from]; uint256 matchUserTwo = userBalances[to]; @> console.log("[LikeRegistry::matchRewards] matchUserOne:", matchUserOne); @> console.log("[LikeRegistry::matchRewards] matchUserTwo:", matchUserTwo); userBalances[from] = 0; userBalances[to] = 0; // ... // Deploy a MultiSig contract for the matched users MultiSigWallet multiSigWallet = new MultiSigWallet(payable(address(this)), from, to); // Send ETH to the deployed multisig wallet (bool success, ) = payable(address(multiSigWallet)).call{ value: rewards }(""); require(success, "Transfer failed"); @> console.log("[LikeRegistry::matchRewards] multiSigWallet balance:", address(multiSigWallet).balance); } ``` Finally, place `test_UserCanGetFreeDates` in `testSoulboundProfileNFT.t.sol`: ```js function test_UserCanGetFreeDates() public { address bob = makeAddr("bob"); address alice = makeAddr("alice"); address angie = makeAddr("angie"); address alex = makeAddr("alex"); address tony = makeAddr("tony"); vm.deal(bob, 10 ether); vm.deal(alice, 10 ether); vm.deal(angie, 10 ether); // mint a profile NFT for bob vm.prank(bob); soulboundNFT.mintProfile("Bob", 25, "ipfs://profileImage"); // mint a profile NFT for alice vm.prank(alice); soulboundNFT.mintProfile("Alice", 25, "ipfs://profileImage"); // mint a profile NFT for angie vm.prank(angie); soulboundNFT.mintProfile("Angie", 25, "ipfs://profileImage"); // mint a profile NFT for alex vm.prank(alex); soulboundNFT.mintProfile("Alex", 25, "ipfs://profileImage"); // mint a profile NFT for tony vm.prank(tony); soulboundNFT.mintProfile("Tony", 25, "ipfs://profileImage"); // bob <3 alice vm.prank(bob); likeRegistry.likeUser{value: 1 ether}(alice); assertTrue(likeRegistry.likes(bob, alice)); // bob <3 angie vm.prank(bob); likeRegistry.likeUser{value: 1 ether}(angie); assertTrue(likeRegistry.likes(bob, angie)); console.log("====== FIRST MATCH ======"); // alice <3 bob (match) vm.prank(alice); likeRegistry.likeUser{value: 1 ether}(bob); assertTrue(likeRegistry.likes(alice, bob)); // angie <3 alex vm.prank(angie); likeRegistry.likeUser{value: 1 ether}(alex); assertTrue(likeRegistry.likes(angie, alex)); // angie <3 tony vm.prank(angie); likeRegistry.likeUser{value: 1 ether}(tony); assertTrue(likeRegistry.likes(angie, tony)); console.log("\n\n====== SECOND MATCH ======"); // angie <3 bob (match) vm.prank(angie); likeRegistry.likeUser{value: 1 ether}(bob); } ``` and run the test: ```bash $ forge test --mt test_UserCanGetFreeDates -vvv Ran 1 test for test/testSoulboundProfileNFT.t.sol:SoulboundProfileNFTTest [PASS] test_UserCanGetFreeDates() (gas: 2274150) Logs: ====== FIRST MATCH ====== [LikeRegistry::matchRewards] matchUserOne: 2000000000000000000 [LikeRegistry::matchRewards] matchUserTwo: 1000000000000000000 [LikeRegistry::matchRewards] totalFees: 300000000000000000 [LikeRegistry::matchRewards] multiSigWallet balance: 2700000000000000000 ====== SECOND MATCH ====== [LikeRegistry::matchRewards] matchUserOne: 0 [LikeRegistry::matchRewards] matchUserTwo: 3000000000000000000 [LikeRegistry::matchRewards] totalFees: 600000000000000000 [LikeRegistry::matchRewards] multiSigWallet balance: 2700000000000000000 Suite result: ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; 0 skipped; finished in 7.57ms (1.93ms CPU time) Ran 1 test suite in 139.45ms (7.57ms CPU time): 1 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (1 total tests) ``` Note how on the second match (between angie and bob), `matchUserOne` (which corresponds to bob) is 0. It was reset upon his match with alice. ## Impact Users can get free dates. The impact is low since this bug isn't technically feasible due to a bug in the `LikeRegistry` contract where `userBalances` isn't properly updated with user payments. The logic flaw remains though. ## Recommendations Consider grouping ETH-like payments on a per-like basis instead of all together. ```diff contract LikeRegistry is Ownable { // ... mapping(address => mapping(address => bool)) public likes; mapping(address => address[]) public matches; - mapping(address => uint256) public userBalances; + mapping(address => mapping(address => uint256)) public userBalances; function likeUser(address liked) external payable { require(msg.value >= 1 ether, "Must send at least 1 ETH"); require(!likes[msg.sender][liked], "Already liked"); require(msg.sender != liked, "Cannot like yourself"); require( profileNFT.profileToToken(msg.sender) != 0, "Must have a profile NFT" ); require( profileNFT.profileToToken(liked) != 0, "Liked user must have a profile NFT" ); + userBalances[msg.sender][liked] += msg.value; likes[msg.sender][liked] = true; emit Liked(msg.sender, liked); // ... } function matchRewards(address from, address to) internal { - uint256 matchUserOne = userBalances[from]; - uint256 matchUserTwo = userBalances[to]; + uint256 matchUserOne = userBalances[from][to]; + uint256 matchUserTwo = userBalances[to][from]; - userBalances[from][to] = 0; - userBalances[to][from] = 0; + userBalances[from][to] = 0; + userBalances[to][from] = 0; // ... } } ```
