Security Audit
Oct 16, 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 Oct 13th to Oct 14th 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 |
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:

Additionally, we reviewed the use of Elixir withdrawals using the Ethena decoder defined in PR 133 as well as a review of the safety of integrating with usual money contracts.
Eigen Layer delegation and claiming functionality was added and reviewed.

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. |
BoringOnChainQueue.sol
allows users to request to withdraw BoringVault shares for accepted withdrawal assets, although there is a waiting period before the request can be fulfilled. Requests are intended to be fulfilled by users or solvers via the solveOnChainWithdraws()
function.
The BoringSolver.sol
contract can fulfill more complex solves and has permission to make bulkWithdrawal()
and bulkDeposit()
calls on Boring Vaults which allows them to fulfill withdrawals for users in the withdrawal queue.
The execution path for the BoringSolver is to call an initial external function it initiate the required solve type, like boringRedeemMintSolve()
, which then calls solveOnChainWithdrawals on the queue with the required solveData
, with the BoringOnChainQueue
calling back boringSolve()
to complete the solve using the initially passed in solveData
.
However, boringSolve()
is an external function that has no explicit permission guard, and assumes the caller is the queue:
function boringSolve(
address initiator,
address boringVault,
address solveAsset,
uint256 totalShares,
uint256 requiredAssets,
bytes calldata solveData
) external requiresAuth {
if (initiator != address(this)) revert BoringSolver___WrongInitiator();
address queue = msg.sender;
SolveType solveType = abi.decode(solveData, (SolveType));
if (solveType == SolveType.BORING_REDEEM) {
_boringRedeemSolve(queue, solveData, boringVault, solveAsset, totalShares, requiredAssets);
} else if (solveType == SolveType.BORING_REDEEM_MINT) {
_boringRedeemMintSolve(queue, solveData, boringVault, solveAsset, totalShares, requiredAssets);
} else {
// Added for future protection, if another enum is added, txs with that enum will revert,
// if no changes are made here.
revert BoringSolver___FailedToSolve();
}
}
Reference: BoringSolver.sol#L121-L147
Any contract/eoa can pass the initiator
as the BoringSolver contract address, send into the contract the desired boringVault shares and make use of it permission to withdraw via either solve type and get around the withdrawal delay.
Users could leverage this and frontrun/backrun share price updates to immediately benefit without being required to hold onto shares long term.
Remediations to Consider
Require the caller of boringSolve()
to be a trusted withdrawal queue to prevent any user from taking advantage of BoringSolver
permissions.
