## 1. :heavy_check_mark: [High] Wrong rounding directions in Vault.sol
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L145-L147
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L181-L183
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L190-L192
### Description
There are 3 instances where rounding direction deviates from EIP-4626:
- `maxWithdraw()` should round down (now it is rounding up)
- `previewWithdraw()` should round up (now it is rounding down)
- `previewRedeem()` should round down (now it is rounding up)
Quoted from EIP-4626:
> EIP-4626 Vault implementers should be aware of the need for specific, opposing rounding directions across the different mutable and view methods, as it is considered most secure to favor the Vault itself during calculations over its users:
>
> If (1) it's calculating how many shares to issue to a user for a certain amount of the underlying tokens they provide or (2) it's determining the amount of the underlying tokens to transfer to them for returning a certain amount of shares, it should round down.
>
> If (1) it's calculating the amount of shares a user has to supply to receive a given amount of the underlying tokens or (2) it's calculating the amount of underlying tokens a user has to provide to receive a certain amount of shares, it should round up.
For example, currently `previewRedeem()` rounds up, which means user can get slightly more assets when redeeming. Although the impact seems low for a single redeem, it can be dangerous when vault operates for a long time or arbitrager deliberately exploits it when gas fee is low. This issue is more serious when decimal is low (such as USDC - 6 decimals), since `1/10**6` is a lot larger than `1/10**18`.
### Recommendation
Fix rounding directions according to EIP-4626. For a reference of actual implementation:
https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/master/contracts/token/ERC20/extensions/ERC4626.sol
## 2. :heavy_check_mark: [Medium] Admin can adjust fee rate to harm fee recipients and vault users
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L429
### Description
Consider the following scenario:
- After a user deposits or mints, the admin can arbitrarily call setFeeInfo to reset `FeeInfo`. The admin can set `withdrawalFeeRate` to 100%.
- Admin can arbitrarily call `setFeeInfo()` to reset `FeeInfo`.
The admin can set `withdrawalFeeRate` to 0, the recipients are unable to receive the withdrawal fee.
### Recommendation
Consider only allowing `setFeeInfo()` in constructor.
## 3. :heavy_check_mark: [Low] USDC/USDT blacklisted fee recipients can brick `Vault.withdraw()` and `Vault.redeem()`
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L287
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L323
### Description
When the token implements a blacklist, which is common for tokens (e.g. USDC/USDT implementing blacklist/blocklist; See: https://github.com/d-xo/weird-erc20).
Currently `Vault.withdraw()` and `Vault.redeem()` implement a for loop that transfers withdrawal fee to a list of recipients. If any of the recipients is blacklisted by USDC/USDT, the entire `Vault.withdraw()` / `Vault.redeem()` function will be bricked. In other words, even users can't withdraw their funds, the vault will be DoSed permanently.
We understand that fee recipients can be updated by admin calling `setFeeInfo()`, therefore the impact is small.
The following steps describe this issue, consider this scenario:
1. Fee recipients was set via `setFeeInfo()` when it was not on the token blacklist.
2. A fee recipient was blacklisted before user calls `withdraw()` or `redeem()`.
3. User calls `withdraw()` or `redeem()`, but because the fee recipient was blacklisted, the `safeTransfer()` to recipient would revert, and user is unable to retrieve assets from the vault.
### Recommendation
In `withdraw()` and `redeem()`, consider checking if the fee recipient is blacklisted. If so, send that fee to a temporary place and let admin extract the fee later.
Or even better, refactor the code using the "pull over push" pattern: set up accounting and let fee recipients claim the fee at a later time, instead of sending tokens to them.
## :heavy_check_mark: 4. [Low] Uniswap V3 fee tiers
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/helper/UniswapHelper.sol#L21-L24
### Description
Uniswap V3 has 0.01% fee tier. What if the only existent pool is of 0.01% fee tier, in other words, what if 0.05%/0.3%/1% pools don't exist? In that case, `getBestFee()` will return 0, rendering this function unless.
Reference: https://support.uniswap.org/hc/en-us/articles/20904283758349-What-are-fee-tiers
### Recommendation
Add another fee tier 0.01% in `getBestFee()`.
## 5. :heavy_check_mark: [Low] Uniswap V3 fee calculation
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/helper/UniswapHelper.sol#L20
### Description
The function `getBestFee()` only selects a pool with largest liquidity, but does not consider maximum payout for LP. Consider a toy example:
- Pool 1: 0.05% fee, 1001 liquidity
- Pool 2: 1% fee, 1000 liquidity
The current implementation will select Pool 1, but obviously Pool 2 benefits LP more.
In our understanding, this function should select a pool with highest expected profit for LP.
### Recommendation
In `getBestFee()`, consider simulating profit computation and select a pool with highest expectetd profit.
## :heavy_check_mark: 6. [Medium] No slippage control for deposit/mint/withdraw/redeem
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L228
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L246
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L264
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L304
### Description
Currently there is no slippage protection in deposit/mint/withdraw/redeem.
Quoted from EIP-4626 security considerations:
> If implementors intend to support EOA account access directly, they should consider adding an additional function call for deposit/mint/withdraw/redeem with the means to accommodate slippage loss or unexpected deposit/withdrawal limits, since they have no other means to revert the transaction if the exact output amount is not achieved.
This issue is only impactful when share price can go down. In current setting it seems the share price will never go down, but this can change in the future when more external integrations are used.
### Recommendation
Implement slippage control (as function input) for deposit/mint/withdraw/redeem.
## :heavy_check_mark: 7. [Informational] Redundant `_setRoleAdmin()` call
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L80
### Description
This line of code is redundant. Code for `_setRoleAdmin`:
https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/83c7e45092dac350b070c421cd2bf7105616cf1a/contracts/access/AccessControl.sol#L170-L174
```solidity=170
function _setRoleAdmin(bytes32 role, bytes32 adminRole) internal virtual {
bytes32 previousAdminRole = getRoleAdmin(role);
_roles[role].adminRole = adminRole;
emit RoleAdminChanged(role, previousAdminRole, adminRole);
}
```
Here it is setting `_roles[keccak256("KEEPER_ROLE")].adminRole = 0x00;`, but `_roles[role].adminRole` defaults to 0x00 already, so calling `_setRoleAdmin(KEEPER_ROLE, DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE);` does nothing. In other words, `DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE` is the default admin for every single role, therefore it is unnecessary to set it again.
### Recommendation
Remove call to `_setRoleAdmin()` in Vault.sol constructor:
```solidity
constructor(
IERC20 _asset,
string memory name,
string memory symbol,
FeeInfo memory _feeInfo,
address _keeper
) ERC20(name, symbol) {
asset = _asset;
// role
_grantRole(DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE, msg.sender);
_grantRole(KEEPER_ROLE, _keeper);
setFeeInfo(_feeInfo);
}
```
## :heavy_check_mark: 8. [Informational] Use AccessControlDefaultAdminRules instead AccessControl to reduce centralization risk
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L5
### Description
In OpenZeppelin AccessControl.sol, The role `DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE` has almost root authority, which increases the centralization risk of the system. There is also an extension called [AccessControlDefaultAdminRules.sol](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/master/contracts/access/extensions/AccessControlDefaultAdminRules.sol), which adds some restrictions to this root role.
Quoted from [OpenZeppelin doc](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/contracts/5.x/access-control0):
> This mechanism can be used to create complex permissioning structures resembling organizational charts, but it also provides an easy way to manage simpler applications. AccessControl includes a special role, called DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE, which acts as the default admin role for all roles. An account with this role will be able to manage any other role, unless _setRoleAdmin is used to select a new admin role.
>
> Since it is the admin for all roles by default, and in fact it is also its own admin, this role carries significant risk. To mitigate this risk we provide AccessControlDefaultAdminRules, a recommended extension of AccessControl that adds a number of enforced security measures for this role: the admin is restricted to a single account, with a 2-step transfer procedure with a delay in between steps.
### Recommendation
Use AccessControlDefaultAdminRules.sol instead of AccessControl.sol.
## 9. :heavy_check_mark: [Medium] Some tokens might not have `decimals()` implemented
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L107
### Description
Quoted from [EIP-20](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-20):
> Returns the number of decimals the token uses - e.g. 8, means to divide the token amount by 100000000 to get its user representation.
>
>OPTIONAL - This method can be used to improve usability, but interfaces and other contracts MUST NOT expect these values to be present.
In `Vault.decimals()`:
```solidity=106
function decimals() public view override returns (uint8) {
return ERC20(address(asset)).decimals() + _decimalsOffset();
}
```
`ERC20(address(asset)).decimals()` might not return expected decimals for some ERC20 without `decimals()` method implemented.
### Recommendation
Implement a try-catch function to query ERC20 token decimals, for example, like what OpenZeppelin implemented:
https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/442886ed5ff8a0b9ab477b191f5238541ee6d772/contracts/token/ERC20/extensions/ERC4626.sol#L86-L97
```solidity
function _tryGetAssetDecimals(IERC20 asset_) private view returns (bool, uint8) {
(bool success, bytes memory encodedDecimals) = address(asset_).staticcall(
abi.encodeCall(IERC20Metadata.decimals, ())
);
if (success && encodedDecimals.length >= 32) {
uint256 returnedDecimals = abi.decode(encodedDecimals, (uint256));
if (returnedDecimals <= type(uint8).max) {
return (true, uint8(returnedDecimals));
}
}
return (false, 0);
}
```
## 10. :heavy_check_mark: [Medium] `Vault.execute()`: Unchecked return value from low-level `call()`
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L482
### Description
Unchecked return value of low-level `call()/delegatecall()`
The call/delegatecall function returns a boolean value indicating whether the call was successful. However, it is important to note that this return value is not being checked in the current implementation.
As a result, there is a possibility that the call wasn't successful, while the transaction continues without reverting.
### Recommendation
Update the code to:
```solidity
function execute(
address _to,
uint256 _value,
bytes calldata _data
) external onlyOwner returns (bool, bytes memory) {
(bool success, bytes memory result) = _to.call{value: _value}(_data);
require(success, "execute() failed")
return (success, result);
}
```
## :heavy_check_mark: 11. [Medium] Vault.sol is not compatible with EIP-4626
There are multiple locations in the Vault.sol that do not conform to ERC-4626 specifications:
### 1. maxMint(), maxDeposit should return the value 0 when mint(), deposit() is paused.
**Description**
The whenTokenNotPaused modifier is used for deposit() and mint() functions to ensure that these functionalities cannot be used when the vault is paused.
According to EIP-4626 specifications:
maxDeposit
```
MUST factor in both global and user-specific limits, like if deposits are entirely disabled (even temporarily) it MUST return 0.
```
maxMint
```
MUST factor in both global and user-specific limits, like if mints are entirely disabled (even temporarily) it MUST return 0.
```
maxDeposit(), maxMint()should return the 0 during deposit(), mint() is paused.
**Code Snippet**
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L123
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L132
### 2. previewWithdraw(), previewRedeem() does not include withdrawal fees.
**Description**
According to EIP-4626 specifications:
previewWithdraw
```
MUST be inclusive of withdrawal fees. Integrators should be aware of the existence of withdrawal fees.
```
previewRedeem
```
MUST be inclusive of withdrawal fees. Integrators should be aware of the existence of withdrawal fees.
```
**Code Snippet**
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L181
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L190
### Recommendation
Fix functions mentioned above according to EIP-4626. For a reference, here is a similar issue reported by OpenZeppelin:
https://blog.openzeppelin.com/pods-finance-ethereum-volatility-vault-audit-2#non-standard-erc-4626-vault-functionality
## 12. :heavy_check_mark: [Medium] `Vault.execute()` gives unnecessary power to the admin
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L477-L484
### Description
There are two "emergency withdrawal" type of admin functions in the vault:
- `emergencyWithdraw()`: withdraw all or a portion of assets from Aave or Layerbank
- `execute()`: arbitrary low-level call by admin
The intention behind `execute()` is to let admin withdraw user funds when upgrading / vault is under attack. However, arbitrary low-level call is a lot more "powerful" (whilst dangerous) and it does not follow least privilege principle.
### Recommendation
Implement `sweep()` instead of `execute()`. A typical sweep() admin function will allow admin to withdraw a certain type of asset only.
## :heavy_check_mark: 13. [Medium] Users can still withdraw / redeem when vault is paused
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L264
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L304
### Description
Among `deposit()`, `mint()`, `withdraw()` and `redeem()`, only `deposit()` and `mint()` are guarded by `whenNotPaused` modifier. In other words, Attacker can withdraw even if vault is paused.
When admins spot something wrong in the vault and try to pause, attacker could already own a portion of the shares in the vault. If `withdraw()` and `redeem()` are not guarded by `whenNotPaused`, attacker can still get away with whatever profit he already made. Therefore it is better to pause all functionalities of the vault and unpause when issues are resolved.
### Recommendation
Add `whenNotPaused` modifier to both `withdraw()` and `redeem()`.
## 14. :heavy_check_mark: [Low] Can steal ETH from the ETHVaultHelper.sol
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/helper/ETHVaultHelper.sol
### Description
Consider the following two scenarios:
1. Honey pot fake vault:
- ETHVaultHelper.sol lacks verification of the vault address.
- A malicious user can create a fake honey pot vault.
- When users call mintETH() or depositETH(), they can pass in the malicious vault address.
- Because the vault is fake, the ETH sent by users cannot be retrieved using withdrawETH() or redeemETH().
2. User accidentally sends ETH:
- In mintETH(), when if ``` (balance > 0)```, the contract sends all ETH in the contract to the caller.
- User A accidentally sends ETH to ETHVaultHelper.sol.
- User B then calls mintETH(), and due to ```uint256 balance = WETH.balanceOf(address(this))```, B withdraws the ETH accidentally sent by A.
## :heavy_check_mark: 15 [Low] Potential DoS in withdraw() and redeem()
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L429
### Description
The current implementation of the `setFeeInfo()` does not have a length limit on the array. This can lead to potential DoS in `withdraw()` and `redeem()`.
If a large number of fee info are set, the for loop in the `withdraw()`, `redeem()` which distributes the withdrawal fee, can consume excessive gas, potentially making the transaction fail.
### Recommendation
Implement length checks in `setFeeInfo()`.
## :heavy_check_mark: 16. [Low] Small withdrawals can evade `withdrawalFee` due to precision loss
### Code Snippet
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L281
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L317
### Description
The current implementation of the `withdraw()` calculates withdrawalFee based on the amount of assets being withdrawn. However, when the withdrawal assets is very small, the precision loss in the fee calculation can result in the fee being rounded down to zero. This allows users to perform multiple small withdrawals, effectively evading the `withdrawalFee`.
### Recommendation
Add 1 when calculating `withdrawalFee`:
```solidity
uint256 withdrawalFee = (assets * feeInfo.withdrawalFeeRate) / MAX_FEE_RATE + 1;
```
## :heavy_check_mark: 17. [Medium] Harvest functionalities are unuseable
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L389-L391
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/AaveVault.sol#L90-L114
### Description
At this moment there is no implementation for `_harvest()`. In Vault.sol, `_harvest()` always returns 0:
```solidity=389
function _harvest() internal virtual returns (uint256) {
return 0;
}
```
In AaveVault.sol, `_harvest()` is commented out:
```solidity=90
// function _harvest() internal override returns (uint256) {
// address self = address(this);
// uint256 beforeAssets = asset.balanceOf(self);
// address[] memory aTokens = new address[](1);
// aTokens[0] = address(aToken);
// (address[] memory rewardsList,) = rewardsController.claimAllRewardsToSelf(aTokens);
// uint256 rewardsListLength = rewardsList.length;
// if (rewardsListLength == 0) {
// return 0;
// }
// for (uint256 i = 0; i < rewardsListLength; i++) {
// // This function will swap the reward token for the asset token.
// // However, we haven't yet decided which DEX to use.
// // _processReward(rewardsList[i]);
// }
// uint256 afterAssets = asset.balanceOf(self);
// uint256 harvestAssets = afterAssets - beforeAssets;
// return harvestAssets;
// }
```
The result is that `harvest()` does nothing since `harvestAssets` is always 0, rendering the harvest functionalities useless.
### Recommendation
Either implement `_harvest()` in AaveVault.sol or remove this functionality all together.
## :heavy_check_mark: 18. [Medium] Vault.mint() returns wrong value
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L254
### Description
Current implementation of `Vault.mint()` returns numbers of shares as return value:
```solidity=252
function mint(uint256 shares, address receiver) external nonReentrant whenNotPaused returns (uint256) {
uint256 assets = previewMint(shares);
_mint(receiver, shares);
asset.safeTransferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), assets);
_deposit(receiver, assets);
emit Deposit(msg.sender, receiver, assets, shares);
return shares; // @audit-issue should return assets
}
```
Per EIP-4626, `mint()` function should return numbers of assets:

This is problematic if further computations done by users / frontend utilize the return value of `mint()`.
### Recommendation
Change the code to:
```solidity
function mint(uint256 shares, address receiver) external nonReentrant whenNotPaused returns (uint256) {
uint256 assets = previewMint(shares);
_mint(receiver, shares);
asset.safeTransferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), assets);
_deposit(receiver, assets);
emit Deposit(msg.sender, receiver, assets, shares);
return assets;
}
```
## :heavy_check_mark: 19. [Informational] Vault.mint() lacks maxMint() check
### Code
https://github.com/lazyotter-finance/lazyotter-contract/blob/b2c87185f8fb95c01b211459d55efab843198a13/src/vaults/Vault.sol#L246-L255
### Description
There is no maxMint check in `Vault.mint()` although maxMint() is implemented. There is no impact at this moment since maxDeposit() always returns `type(uint256).max`, but if it changes in the future then Vault.mint() needs to check maxMint().
Just for completeness, here is the code for maxDeposit() and maxMint():
```solidity=123
function maxDeposit(address account) public view virtual returns (uint256) {
return type(uint256).max;
}
```
```solidity=132
function maxMint(address receiver) public view returns (uint256) {
uint256 _maxDeposit = maxDeposit(receiver);
if (_maxDeposit == type(uint256).max) {
return type(uint256).max;
}
return _convertToShares(_maxDeposit, Math.Rounding.Floor);
}
```
Currently `return _convertToShares(_maxDeposit, Math.Rounding.Floor);` is unreachable, because maxDeposit() always returns type(uint256).max. However, since maxDeposit() is a virtual function, new vaults might override it to much smaller value, so Vault.mint() will need to check maxMint().
### Recommendation
Add maxMint() check inside Vault.mint():
```solidity
uint256 maxShares = maxMint(receiver);
if (shares > maxShares) {
revert("exceed maxMint limit");
}
```
# Appendix: Technical doc
## Centralization risk
In the Lazy Otter project, there are two types of centralized roles:
- Admin: Admins have the authority to reset vault fees, pause the vault, unpause the vault, perform emergency withdrawals, and withdraw any remaining balance from the vault.
- Keeper: Keepers have the authority to pause the vault, unpause the vault, and perform emergency withdrawals.
Please check the main report for related findings.
## Classic vault attacks
### Inflation attack
Lazyotter utilizes "virtual decimals" `_decimalsOffset=6` to mitigate the famous inflation attack / first depositor frontrunning attack, similar to OpenZeppelin's implementation of [ERC4626](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/master/contracts/token/ERC20/extensions/ERC4626.sol).
This decimals offset significantly increases the cost of "donation" by the attacker, therefore mitigates the inflation attack.
### Vault reset attack
Vault reset attack was described in [Kankodu's tweet](https://x.com/kankodu/status/1685320718870032384). This attack is mitigated by virtual decimal offset too.
### Rounding directions
Rounding direction should always be in favor of the protocol. In other words, a correct implementation of ERC4626 should let users suffer a tiny bit of loss in exchange of protocol security.
There are a few cases in Vault.sol where ERC4626 standard isn't strictly followed. Please check the main report for that finding.
### Slippage
The idea of slippage is similar to that of AMM. You can think of `Vault.mint()` as a type of "swap()" as in AMM. In a secure implementation of ERC-4626 vault, it is neccessary to consider slippage to protect users' asset. Currently there is no slippage protection in Lazyotter, and we already addressed this issue in the main report.
### Reentrancy
All user-level external functions are guarded by `nonReentrant` modifier, therefore simple reentrancy attacks are impossible.
## Vault functionalities analysis
### Fees
Compared to standard EIP-4626 vault, Lazyotter implements withdrawal fee (no deposit fee). The fee is computed in both `Vault.withdraw()` and `Vault.redeem()`.
### Emergency withdrawal
Emergency withdrawl gives admin the authority to pause the vault and withdraw all funds in it. Beyond emergencyWithdraw() function, there is also an execute() admin function that can withdraw all funds without pausing the vault.
### Harvest
User deposits will be sent to Aave / Layerbank as LP, therefore the vault will generate yields and users should be able to harvest their profit. But currently harvest functionality is not implemented.
### Types of vaults
There are two types of vaults in the scope:
- AaveVault
- LayerBankVault
In both vaults, user deposit is sent to Aave / Layerbank pool as LP in order to generate profit. However, LayerBankVault has a caveat: the underlying asset USDC has 6 decimals but the LP token iUSDC has 18 decimals. This creates complication in further computation.
