Logic flaw in `LikeRegistry::matchRewards`: pooling a user's entire balance into one match can give free dates

Description


When two users match, matchRewardspools each user's entire userBalancesinto that single match and zeroes it — not just the amount attributable to the specific like between those two users:


function matchRewards(address from, address to) internal {
uint256 matchUserOne = userBalances[from]; // @> the user's WHOLE balance (all their likes)
uint256 matchUserTwo = userBalances[to]; // @>
userBalances[from] = 0; // @> zeroes everything
userBalances[to] = 0;
uint256 totalRewards = matchUserOne + matchUserTwo;
...
}
```
​
A user who has liked several different people has paid into a single aggregate `userBalances`. The first time ANY of those likes becomes mutual, `matchRewards` sweeps their whole balance (every ETH from every outstanding like) into that one match and zeroes it. Their deposits intended for their other pending likes are consumed by the first match — and if those other people later like them back, the match pools 0, giving those counterparties a "free date" funded by the first match (or nothing at all).
​
## Risk
​
**Likelihood: Medium**
​
- Liking multiple people is the expected usage of a dating app, so a user commonly has several outstanding likes when their first match occurs.
​
**Impact: Medium**
​
- The user's funds earmarked for other likes are misallocated into their first match, over-rewarding that match and leaving later matches unfunded (free dates / mis-accounting). Loss relative to the intended per-like escrow.
​
## Proof of Concept
​
```solidity
// Alice likes Bob (1 ETH) and Carol (1 ETH) -> userBalances[Alice] = 2 ETH (if tracked).
// Bob likes Alice -> match -> matchRewards sweeps ALL 2 ETH of Alice's balance into the Alice/Bob multisig.
// Later Carol likes Alice -> userBalances[Alice] == 0 -> the Alice/Carol match pools nothing from Alice (free date).
```
​
## Recommended Mitigation
​
Track and pool only the per-pair amount (the specific like between `from` and `to`), not the user's whole aggregate balance:
​
```solidity
// use likeAmount[from][to] / likeAmount[to][from] for the match, and deduct only those from userBalances.
```
}

[M-02] Logic flaw in `LikeRegistry::matchRewards` can lead to users getting free dates

## 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; // ... } } ```
