A user balance is consumed by the first match, underfunding every later match

Summary

The protocol aggregates all like deposits per user in one userBalances[address] value. On the first mutual match, matchRewards transfers the user's entire aggregate balance and resets it to zero, including deposits intended for other people. Subsequent matches are therefore underfunded.

Root cause and evidence

src/LikeRegistry.sol:22 stores balances only by user, not by liker/liked pair. At lines 50-66, a match reads each participant's full balance and zeroes both entries.

Example after adding the intended balance credit:

  1. Alice likes Bob with 1 ETH and Carol with 1 ETH, so Alice's balance is 2 ETH.

  2. Bob likes Alice with 1 ETH. The Alice/Bob match receives Alice's entire 2 ETH plus Bob's 1 ETH, less fees.

  3. Carol then likes Alice with 1 ETH. Alice's balance is already zero, so the Alice/Carol multisig receives only Carol's side.

Impact

Funds are assigned to the wrong relationship. Early matches receive deposits intended for later matches, while later matched users receive less than promised.

Minimal patch

Track deposits per directed pair, for example deposits[liker][liked] += msg.value. When a match forms, settle only deposits[from][to] + deposits[to][from] and zero those two pair-specific entries before the external transfer.

Regression test

Have Alice like Bob and Carol, then complete both matches. Assert each multisig receives only the two deposits for its own pair minus the 10% fee, and settling one pair does not change the other pair's deposits.

[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; // ... } } ```
