[L-03] `refund()` does not decrement `fund.amount_raised`, breaking withdrawal accounting

Description

After a refund, fund.amount_raised still reflects the pre-refund cumulative total. If the protocol is fixed (H-01 patched so refunds actually transfer SOL), the mismatch between actual fund lamports and amount_raised causes withdraw() to attempt transferring more lamports than available, reverting with InsufficientFunds.

Vulnerability Details

// lib.rs:66-88
pub fn refund(ctx: Context<FundRefund>) -> Result<()> {
let amount = ctx.accounts.contribution.amount;
// ... deadline check ...
// lamport transfer: fund -> contributor
// ...
ctx.accounts.contribution.amount = 0; // contribution reset
// @> fund.amount_raised NOT decremented
Ok(())
}

After a refund of 10 SOL from a 100 SOL fund, fund.amount_raised stays at 100 but the fund only holds 90 SOL. withdraw() tries to transfer 100 SOL and fails.

Proof of Concept

// Assumes H-01 is fixed (contribution.amount properly tracked)
// 1. fund_create("Test", "desc", goal=100 SOL)
// fund.amount_raised = 0
// 2. Alice contributes 60 SOL, Bob contributes 40 SOL
// fund.amount_raised = 100 SOL
// fund.lamports = rent_exempt + 100 SOL
// 3. Deadline passes, goal not met (hypothetically goal was 200 SOL)
// 4. Alice calls refund() — gets 60 SOL back
// fund.lamports = rent_exempt + 40 SOL
// fund.amount_raised = 100 SOL <-- NOT decremented
// 5. Bob calls refund() — gets 40 SOL back
// fund.lamports = rent_exempt
// fund.amount_raised = 100 SOL <-- still 100
// 6. If creator calls withdraw():
// amount = fund.amount_raised = 100 SOL
// fund.lamports.checked_sub(100 SOL) -> only rent_exempt left
// REVERTS: InsufficientFunds

Recommendations

+ ctx.accounts.fund.amount_raised = ctx.accounts.fund.amount_raised
+ .checked_sub(amount)
+ .ok_or(ErrorCode::CalculationOverflow)?;
ctx.accounts.contribution.amount = 0;

[M-03] Fund Creator Can't Withdraw If Someone Has Refunded Their Contribution

# \[H-02] Fund Creator Can't Withdraw If Someone Has Refunded Their Contribution ## Description The `refund` function does not update `fund.amount_raised`, causing an inconsistency between the fund's actual balance and the recorded raised amount. As a result, when the fund creator tries to withdraw funds, the transaction may fail due to insufficient balance, effectively locking funds in the contract. ## Vulnerability Details The issue arises in the `refund` function, which transfers funds back to the contributor but does not update the `amount_raised` field: ```rust pub fn refund(ctx: Context<FundRefund>) -> Result<()> { let amount = ctx.accounts.contribution.amount; if ctx.accounts.fund.deadline != 0 && ctx.accounts.fund.deadline > Clock::get().unwrap().unix_timestamp.try_into().unwrap() { return Err(ErrorCode::DeadlineNotReached.into()); } ctx.accounts.fund.to_account_info().try_borrow_mut_lamports()? = ctx.accounts.fund.to_account_info().lamports() .checked_sub(amount) .ok_or(ProgramError::InsufficientFunds)?; ctx.accounts.contributor.to_account_info().try_borrow_mut_lamports()? = ctx.accounts.contributor.to_account_info().lamports() .checked_add(amount) .ok_or(ErrorCode::CalculationOverflow)?; // Reset contribution amount after refund ctx.accounts.contribution.amount = 0; Ok(()) } ``` The issue becomes evident when the fund creator attempts to withdraw using the following function: ```rust pub fn withdraw(ctx: Context<FundWithdraw>) -> Result<()> { let amount = ctx.accounts.fund.amount_raised; ctx.accounts.fund.to_account_info().try_borrow_mut_lamports()? = ctx.accounts.fund.to_account_info().lamports() .checked_sub(amount) .ok_or(ProgramError::InsufficientFunds)?; ctx.accounts.creator.to_account_info().try_borrow_mut_lamports()? = ctx.accounts.creator.to_account_info().lamports() .checked_add(amount) .ok_or(ErrorCode::CalculationOverflow)?; Ok(()) } ``` Since `amount_raised` is never updated when a refund occurs, the creator will attempt to withdraw more than what actually exists in the fund, causing an insufficient funds error and failing the transaction. ## Impact - If any contributor requests a refund, the total balance in the fund decreases. However, `fund.amount_raised` remains unchanged, leading to an overestimated available balance. - When the fund creator calls `withdraw`, they attempt to transfer `fund.amount_raised`, which no longer matches the actual available balance. - This results in a failed transaction, effectively locking funds in the contract since the withdraw function will always fail if refunds have been processed. ## Proof of Concept This issue is not currently caught by tests because the `contribute` function itself has a bug (not updating `contribution.amount`), preventing the refund function from executing properly. Once the contribute function is fixed, the issue will be clearly visible in test cases. ## Recommendations The `refund` function must update `fund.amount_raised` to ensure the contract state reflects the actual balance after refunds. ### Fixed Code: ```diff pub fn refund(ctx: Context<FundRefund>) -> Result<()> { let amount = ctx.accounts.contribution.amount; if ctx.accounts.fund.deadline != 0 && ctx.accounts.fund.deadline > Clock::get().unwrap().unix_timestamp.try_into().unwrap() { return Err(ErrorCode::DeadlineNotReached.into()); } ctx.accounts.fund.to_account_info().try_borrow_mut_lamports()? = ctx.accounts.fund.to_account_info().lamports() .checked_sub(amount) .ok_or(ProgramError::InsufficientFunds)?; ctx.accounts.contributor.to_account_info().try_borrow_mut_lamports()? = ctx.accounts.contributor.to_account_info().lamports() .checked_add(amount) .ok_or(ErrorCode::CalculationOverflow)?; // Reset contribution amount after refund ctx.accounts.contribution.amount = 0; + // Fix: Decrease the fund's recorded amount_raised + let fund = &mut ctx.accounts.fund; + fund.amount_raised = fund.amount_raised.checked_sub(amount).ok_or(ErrorCode::CalculationOverflow)?; Ok(()) } ```
