uint64-totalfees-overflow-can-permanently-lock-collected-fees

Root + Impact

Description

  • Fee accounting should accurately track all accumulated fees until feeAddress withdraws them.

  • totalFees is stored as uint64 and Solidity 0.7.6 arithmetic is unchecked, so repeated fee accumulation can wrap totalFees below the actual ETH held for fees.

address public feeAddress;
@>uint64 public totalFees = 0;
function selectWinner() external {
...
uint256 fee = (totalAmountCollected * 20) / 100;
@> totalFees = totalFees + uint64(fee);
}
function withdrawFees() external {
@> require(address(this).balance == uint256(totalFees), "PuppyRaffle: There are currently players active!");
uint256 feesToWithdraw = totalFees;
totalFees = 0;
(bool success,) = feeAddress.call{value: feesToWithdraw}("");
require(success, "PuppyRaffle: Failed to withdraw fees");
}

Risk

Likelihood:

  • The raffle runs enough rounds for accumulated fees to exceed type(uint64).max.

  • The contract remains on Solidity 0.7.6 without checked arithmetic or SafeMath.

Impact:

  • totalFees wraps and no longer equals the actual fee ETH held by the contract.

  • withdrawFees reverts permanently because its balance equality guard can no longer be satisfied.

Proof of Concept

function test_PR005_totalFeesUint64OverflowLocksFeeWithdrawal() public {
for (uint256 round = 0; round < 24; round++) {
address[] memory players = uniquePlayers(4, 10_000 + (round * 10));
puppyRaffle.enterRaffle{value: entranceFee * 4}(players);
vm.warp(block.timestamp + duration + 1);
vm.roll(block.number + 1);
puppyRaffle.selectWinner();
}
assertTrue(address(puppyRaffle).balance > uint256(puppyRaffle.totalFees()));
vm.expectRevert("PuppyRaffle: There are currently players active!");
puppyRaffle.withdrawFees();
}

Recommended Mitigation

-uint64 public totalFees = 0;
+uint256 public totalFees = 0;
function selectWinner() external {
...
- totalFees = totalFees + uint64(fee);
+ totalFees = totalFees + fee;
}
// Also use Solidity 0.8+ checked arithmetic or SafeMath when staying on Solidity 0.7.6.

[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.
