A refund zeroes only the contributor record; it does not subtract the refunded amount from fund.amount_raised. The campaign total therefore claims that refunded SOL is still present.
refund at lib.rs:66-88 reads and transfers contribution.amount, then sets contribution.amount = 0. It never updates fund.amount_raised, which was increased during contribution at line 50.
After refunds, goal checks can still report success and creator withdrawal can request more lamports than the Fund owns. Subsequent refunds may fail because the accounting no longer reflects solvency.
State becomes inconsistent with real funds, leading to failed withdrawals/refunds and potentially incorrect campaign-success decisions.
Use checked subtraction to reduce fund.amount_raised by the refund amount before moving lamports, then zero the contribution record. All changes revert atomically if the transfer fails.
Make contributions from two users, refund one, and assert amount_raised and Fund lamports both decrease by exactly that user's amount. The remaining user must still be able to refund successfully.
# \[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(()) } ```
