Users Can Farm Unlimited Santa NFTs and or SantaTokens Transferring Their NFT

Root + Impact

Description

A NICE or EXTRA_NICE user should collect their present only once. EXTRA_NICE users should receive one NFT and one SANTA allocation, while NICE users should receive one NFT.

collectPresent uses the caller’s current NFT balance as its only “already collected” check. Because the NFT is transferable, a user can transfer their NFT to another address, reducing their balance to zero, then call collectPresent again. This can be repeated indefinitely. EXTRA_NICE users farm unlimited SANTA and NFTs; NICE users farm unlimited NFTs.

function collectPresent() external {
if (block.timestamp < CHRISTMAS_2023_BLOCK_TIME) {
revert SantasList__NotChristmasYet();
}
if (balanceOf(msg.sender) > 0) { // @> Only checks current NFT ownership.
revert SantasList__AlreadyCollected();
}
if (
s_theListCheckedOnce[msg.sender] == Status.EXTRA_NICE
&& s_theListCheckedTwice[msg.sender] == Status.EXTRA_NICE
) {
_mintAndIncrement();
i_santaToken.mint(msg.sender); // @> Repeats each time the NFT is transferred away.
return;
}
}

Risk

Likelihood:

  • ERC721 NFTs are transferable through the inherited transferFrom and safeTransferFrom functions.

  • NICE and EXTRA_NICE users can transfer each collected NFT to a second address before calling collectPresent again.

Impact:

  • EXTRA_NICE users can mint unlimited NFTs and accumulate unlimited SANTA tokens.

  • NICE users can mint unlimited NFTs, breaking the intended one-present-per-address distribution and NFT scarcity.

Proof of Concept

Applying this function at the end of /test/SantasListTest.t.sol to know how user's can pass the nft's balance check and farm nft and or token

Ran with command: forge test --match-test testPoC_ExtraNiceUserCanFarmSantaAndNFTs -vvvv

function testPoC_ExtraNiceUserCanFarmSantaAndNFTs() public {
address receiver = makeAddr("receiver");
vm.startPrank(santa);
santasList.checkList(user, SantasList.Status.EXTRA_NICE);
santasList.checkTwice(user, SantasList.Status.EXTRA_NICE);
vm.stopPrank();
vm.warp(santasList.CHRISTMAS_2023_BLOCK_TIME() + 1);
vm.startPrank(user);
// First collection: NFT #0 and 1 SANTA.
santasList.collectPresent();
assertEq(santasList.balanceOf(user), 1);
assertEq(santaToken.balanceOf(user), 1e18);
// Transfer NFT #0 away, clearing the only collection guard.
santasList.transferFrom(user, receiver, 0);
assertEq(santasList.balanceOf(user), 0);
// Second collection: another NFT and another SANTA allocation.
santasList.collectPresent();
vm.stopPrank();
assertEq(santasList.balanceOf(receiver), 1);
assertEq(santasList.balanceOf(user), 1);
assertEq(santaToken.balanceOf(user), 2e18);
}

Recommended Mitigation

Track collection permanently by address rather than inferring it from current NFT ownership. Set the flag before minting to prevent reentrancy through _safeMint.

+mapping(address user => bool hasCollected) private s_hasCollected;
function collectPresent() external {
if (block.timestamp < CHRISTMAS_2023_BLOCK_TIME) {
revert SantasList__NotChristmasYet();
}
+if (s_hasCollected[msg.sender]) {
revert SantasList__AlreadyCollected();
}
+s_hasCollected[msg.sender] = true;
if (
s_theListCheckedOnce[msg.sender] == Status.NICE
&& s_theListCheckedTwice[msg.sender] == Status.NICE
) {
_mintAndIncrement();
return;
}
if (
s_theListCheckedOnce[msg.sender] == Status.EXTRA_NICE
&& s_theListCheckedTwice[msg.sender] == Status.EXTRA_NICE
) {
_mintAndIncrement();
i_santaToken.mint(msg.sender);
return;
}
revert SantasList__NotNice();
}

[H-04] Any `NICE` or `EXTRA_NICE` user is able to call `collectPresent` function multiple times.

## Description `collectPresent` function is callable by any address, but the call will succeed only if the user is registered as `NICE` or `EXTRA_NICE` in SantasList contract. In order to prevent users to collect presents multiple times, the following check is implemented: ``` if (balanceOf(msg.sender) > 0) { revert SantasList__AlreadyCollected(); } ``` Nevertheless, there is an issue with this check. Users could send their newly minted NFTs to another wallet, allowing them to pass that check as `balanceOf(msg.sender)` will be `0` after transferring the NFT. ## Vulnerability Details Let's imagine a scenario where an `EXTRA_NICE` user wants to collect present when it is Christmas time. The user will call `collectPresent` function and will get 1 NFT and `1e18` SantaTokens. This user could now call `safetransferfrom` ERC-721 function in order to send the NFT to another wallet, while keeping SantaTokens on the same wallet (or send them as well, it doesn't matter). After that, it is possible to call `collectPresent` function again as ``balanceOf(msg.sender)` will be `0` again. ## Impact The impact of this vulnerability is HIGH as it allows any `NICE` user to mint as much NFTs as wanted, and it also allows any `EXTRA_NICE` user to mint as much NFTs and SantaTokens as desired. ## Proof of Concept The following tests shows that any `NICE` or `EXTRA_NICE` user is able to call `collectPresent` function again after transferring the newly minted NFT to another wallet. - In the case of `NICE` users, it will be possible to mint an infinity of NFTs, while transferring all of them in another wallet hold by the user. - In the case of `EXTRA_NICE` users, it will be possible to mint an infinity of NFTs and an infinity of SantaTokens. ``` function testExtraNiceCanCollectTwice() external { vm.startPrank(santa); // Santa checks twice the user as EXTRA_NICE santasList.checkList(user, SantasList.Status.EXTRA_NICE); santasList.checkTwice(user, SantasList.Status.EXTRA_NICE); vm.stopPrank(); // It is Christmas time! vm.warp(1_703_480_381); vm.startPrank(user); // User collects 1 NFT + 1e18 SantaToken santasList.collectPresent(); // User sends the minted NFT to another wallet santasList.safeTransferFrom(user, makeAddr("secondWallet"), 0); // User collect present again santasList.collectPresent(); vm.stopPrank(); // Users now owns 2e18 tokens, after calling 2 times collectPresent function successfully assertEq(santaToken.balanceOf(user), 2e18); } ``` ## Recommendations SantasList should implement in its storage a mapping to keep track of addresses which already collected present through `collectPresent` function. We could declare as a state variable : ``` mapping(address user => bool) private hasClaimed; ``` and then modify `collectPresent` function as follows: ``` function collectPresent() external { // use SantasList__AlreadyCollected custom error to save gas require(!hasClaimed[msg.sender], "user already collected present"); if (block.timestamp < CHRISTMAS_2023_BLOCK_TIME) { revert SantasList__NotChristmasYet(); } if (s_theListCheckedOnce[msg.sender] == Status.NICE && s_theListCheckedTwice[msg.sender] == Status.NICE) { _mintAndIncrement(); hasClaimed[msg.sender] = true; return; } else if ( s_theListCheckedOnce[msg.sender] == Status.EXTRA_NICE && s_theListCheckedTwice[msg.sender] == Status.EXTRA_NICE ) { _mintAndIncrement(); i_santaToken.mint(msg.sender); hasClaimed[msg.sender] = true; return; } revert SantasList__NotNice(); } ``` We just added a check that `hasClaimed[msg.sender]` is `false` to execute the rest of the function, while removing the check on `balanceOf`. Once present is collected, either for `NICE` or `EXTRA_NICE` people, we update `hasClaimed[msg.sender]` to `true`. This will prevent user to call `collectPresent` function. If you run the previous test with this new implementation, it wail fail with the error `user already collected present`. Here is a new test that checks the new implementation works as desired: ``` function testCorrectCollectPresentImpl() external { vm.startPrank(santa); // Santa checks twice the user as EXTRA_NICE santasList.checkList(user, SantasList.Status.EXTRA_NICE); santasList.checkTwice(user, SantasList.Status.EXTRA_NICE); vm.stopPrank(); // It is Christmas time! vm.warp(1_703_480_381); vm.startPrank(user); // User collects 1 NFT + 1e18 SantaToken santasList.collectPresent(); // User sends the minted NFT to another wallet santasList.safeTransferFrom(user, makeAddr("secondWallet"), 0); vm.expectRevert("user already collected present"); santasList.collectPresent(); vm.stopPrank(); } ```
