Security Audit
Aug 15, 2024
Version 1.0.0
Presented by 0xMacro
This document includes the results of the security audit for Seven Seas's smart contract code as found in the section titled ‘Source Code’. The security audit was performed by the Macro security team from August 20th to August 22nd 2024 and from September 4th to September 4th 2024.
The purpose of this audit is to review the source code of certain Seven Seas Solidity contracts, and provide feedback on the design, architecture, and quality of the source code with an emphasis on validating the correctness and security of the software in its entirety.
Disclaimer: While Macro’s review is comprehensive and has surfaced some changes that should be made to the source code, this audit should not solely be relied upon for security, as no single audit is guaranteed to catch all possible bugs.
The following is an aggregation of issues found by the Macro Audit team:
Severity | Count | Acknowledged | Won't Do | Addressed |
---|---|---|---|---|
High | 1 | - | - | 1 |
Informational | 3 | - | - | - |
Seven Seas was quick to respond to these issues.
Our understanding of the specification was based on the following sources:
The following source code was reviewed during the audit:

Specifically, we audited the changes for the following contracts in PR 88.
Contract | SHA256 |
---|---|
src/base/DecodersAndSanitizers/Protocols/KarakDecoderAndSanitizer.sol |
|
src/base/DecodersAndSanitizers/Protocols/PendleRouterDecoderAndSanitizer.sol |

src/base/DecodersAndSanitizers/SymbioticVaultDecoderAndSanitizerFull.sol |
|
src/base/Drones/BoringDrone.sol |
|
src/base/Drones/DroneLib.sol |

We also audited the changes for the following bridge integration contracts in the September branch.

Note: This document contains an audit solely of the Solidity contracts listed above. Specifically, the audit pertains only to the contracts themselves, and does not pertain to any other programs or scripts, including deployment scripts.

We quantify issues in three parts:
This third part – the severity level – is a summary of how much consideration the client should give to fixing the issue. We assign severity according to the table of guidelines below:
Severity | Description |
---|---|
(C-x) Critical |
We recommend the client must fix the issue, no matter what, because not fixing would mean significant funds/assets WILL be lost. |
(H-x) High |
We recommend the client must address the issue, no matter what, because not fixing would be very bad, or some funds/assets will be lost, or the code’s behavior is against the provided spec. |
(M-x) Medium |
We recommend the client to seriously consider fixing the issue, as the implications of not fixing the issue are severe enough to impact the project significantly, albiet not in an existential manner. |
(L-x) Low |
The risk is small, unlikely, or may not relevant to the project in a meaningful way. Whether or not the project wants to develop a fix is up to the goals and needs of the project. |
(Q-x) Code Quality |
The issue identified does not pose any obvious risk, but fixing could improve overall code quality, on-chain composability, developer ergonomics, or even certain aspects of protocol design. |
(I-x) Informational |
Warnings and things to keep in mind when operating the protocol. No immediate action required. |
(G-x) Gas Optimizations |
The presented optimization suggestion would save an amount of gas significant enough, in our opinion, to be worth the development cost of implementing it. |
BoringPuppet.sol
is a contract intended to be controlled by the boring vault and used as a alternate address, used for varying purposes while interacting with protocols, like bypassing point reward caps or user deposit caps. It is relatively simple, allowing the boring vault to call any function via it’s callback, forwarding value sent into the call:
/**
* @notice This contract in its current state can only be interacted with by the BoringVault.
* @notice The real target is extracted from the call data using `extractTargetFromCalldata()`.
* @notice The puppet then forwards
*/
fallback() external payable onlyBoringVault {
// Extract real target from end of calldata
address target = PuppetLib.extractTargetFromCalldata();
// Forward call to real target.
// TODO we could do some verification of `target`, but if it is wrong then it should just revert when it tries to make the call.
target.functionCallWithValue(msg.data, msg.value);
}
Reference: BoringPuppet.sol#L36-L48
This fallback function is the only means that the puppet can make calls, and is limited to only sending ETH equal to the amount sent in on that call, since it uses msg.value
.
The only other function in the contract is a receive()
function, which handles the case where ETH is sent directly into the contract without any additional calldata. One intent of having this receive()
function is to allow the puppet to receive ETH as a reward for protocols that offer it, say for staking. If ETH is sent to the contract, however, there is no way to move the ETH out, since its fallback function only forwards the value sent in. This would cause any ETH rewards to be stuck in the contract forever.
Remediations to Consider
Either:
fallback()
call, like is done with the target address, rather than use msg.value
.Symbiotic vault contracts are currently only deployed on the Holesky testnet, and their audit reports do not cover them or the associated protocol contracts. This could mean there is a audit pending and may change when deployed to mainnet, caution and re-review is advised once that occurs. Notably the vault contracts do not utilize the symbiotic collateral contracts that it’s documentation claims it will use, so it is possible the underlying token deposited into these vaults will be updated to use their associated collateral token.
Boring vaults intend to interact with Karak contracts by using the KarakDecoderAndSanitizer
which will interact with the DelegationSupervisor
and VaultSupervisor
contracts. However, currently there is no way to actually delegate shares like the DelegateSupervisor’s name would suggest. There is a comment in the VaultSupervisor that implies this will be changed in a future update:
// Increase shares delegated to operator
// TODO: to be enabled in the next version when delegation is activated
//self.delegationSupervisor.increaseDelegatedShares(staker, vault, shares);
Reference: VaultSupervisor.sol#L274-L276
Karak contracts are upgradeable, which should always be considered with caution, but it is important to be aware that active changes are planned, and so should be watched in case the contracts update its interface or introduces an exploit.
When bridging assets, a min gas limit parameter is typically required which is the gas limit used to execute the transaction on destination chain. If the min gas limit provided is not sufficient to executed the desired transaction, it may not be able to be executed leaving any ETH or tokens attempted to be bridged potentially stuck. It is expected that when strategists set this value it will be set correctly so it will execute as expected.
Alternatively the min gas limit is used by some protocols, like Scroll, to charge a fee to cover the execution cost. If it is set to be much larger than required, additional unnecessary fees will be charged.
Strategists should simulate the desired transactions to determine the gas used, adding a buffer to ensure it will execute.
