[H-03] Unsafe `uint64` cast on `totalFees` causes silent overflow and permanent fee loss

Root + Impact

Description

  • totalFees is declared as uint64, which has a maximum value of
    ~18.44 ETH (18,446,744,073,709,551,615 wei).

  • In selectWinner(), the fee is computed as uint256 then cast to
    uint64 before addition. On Solidity 0.7.6 (no built-in overflow
    checks), the cast silently truncates any value exceeding uint64 max.
    The + operation on totalFees can also overflow silently.

// @> totalFees is uint64 -- max ~18.44 ETH
uint64 public totalFees = 0;
// In selectWinner():
uint256 fee = (totalAmountCollected * 20) / 100;
// @> Unsafe downcast: uint64(fee) truncates if fee > ~18.44 ETH
// @> Addition can also overflow uint64
totalFees = totalFees + uint64(fee);

Risk

Likelihood:

  • With entranceFee = 1 ETH and 100 players: fee = 20 ETH > 18.44 ETH.
    A single moderately popular raffle round triggers the overflow.

  • Overflow is silent on Solidity 0.7.6 -- no revert, no warning.

Impact:

  • Protocol fees are permanently lost. totalFees stores a truncated
    value far less than the actual 20% fee.

  • withdrawFees() requires address(this).balance == uint256(totalFees).
    The mismatched totalFees can permanently lock fee withdrawals.

Proof of Concept

  • Foundry test test_H03_TotalFeesOverflow -- PASS

// 100 players at 1 ETH each
// fee = 20 ETH = 20e18 wei
// uint64(20e18) = 20e18 % 2^64 = 1,553,255,926,290,448,384 (~1.55 ETH)
// Protocol loses ~18.45 ETH in fees from one round
uint256 actualTotalFees = puppyRaffle.totalFees();
assertTrue(actualTotalFees < expectedFee); // CONFIRMED: truncated

Recommended Mitigation

  • Change totalFees to uint256.

- uint64 public totalFees = 0;
+ uint256 public totalFees = 0;

[H-05] Typecasting from uint256 to uint64 in PuppyRaffle.selectWinner() May Lead to Overflow and Incorrect Fee Calculation

## Description ## Vulnerability Details The type conversion from uint256 to uint64 in the expression 'totalFees = totalFees + uint64(fee)' may potentially cause overflow problems if the 'fee' exceeds the maximum value that a uint64 can accommodate (2^64 - 1). ```javascript totalFees = totalFees + uint64(fee); ``` ## POC <details> <summary>Code</summary> ```javascript function testOverflow() public { uint256 initialBalance = address(puppyRaffle).balance; // This value is greater than the maximum value a uint64 can hold uint256 fee = 2**64; // Send ether to the contract (bool success, ) = address(puppyRaffle).call{value: fee}(""); assertTrue(success); uint256 finalBalance = address(puppyRaffle).balance; // Check if the contract's balance increased by the expected amount assertEq(finalBalance, initialBalance + fee); } ``` </details> In this test, assertTrue(success) checks if the ether was successfully sent to the contract, and assertEq(finalBalance, initialBalance + fee) checks if the contract's balance increased by the expected amount. If the balance didn't increase as expected, it could indicate an overflow. ## Impact This could consequently lead to inaccuracies in the computation of 'totalFees'. ## Recommendations To resolve this issue, you should change the data type of `totalFees` from `uint64` to `uint256`. This will prevent any potential overflow issues, as `uint256` can accommodate much larger numbers than `uint64`. Here's how you can do it: Change the declaration of `totalFees` from: ```javascript uint64 public totalFees = 0; ``` to: ```jasvascript uint256 public totalFees = 0; ``` And update the line where `totalFees` is updated from: ```diff - totalFees = totalFees + uint64(fee); + totalFees = totalFees + fee; ``` This way, you ensure that the data types are consistent and can handle the range of values that your contract may encounter.
