Table of Contents

Introduction

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 on March 20th.

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.

Overall Assessment

The following is an aggregation of issues found by the Macro Audit team:

Severity Count Acknowledged Won't Do Addressed

Seven Seas was quick to respond to these issues.

Specification

Our understanding of the specification was based on the following sources:

Source Code

The following source code was reviewed during the audit:

Specifically, we audited the following contracts within this repository.

Source Code SHA256
src/modules/price-router/Extensions/EtherFi/weETHExtension.sol

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.

Issue Descriptions and Recommendations

Security Level Reference

We quantify issues in three parts:

  1. The high/medium/low/spec-breaking impact of the issue:
    • How bad things can get (for a vulnerability)
    • The significance of an improvement (for a code quality issue)
    • The amount of gas saved (for a gas optimization)
  2. The high/medium/low likelihood of the issue:
    • How likely is the issue to occur (for a vulnerability)
  3. The overall critical/high/medium/low severity of the issue.

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.

Issue Details

I-1

Pricing assumes a 1:1 peg of eETH to ETH

Topic
Informational
Impact
Informational

The weEthExtension.sol prices wrapped eETH by converting it to eETH using the rate providers rate, then prices it as if it is normal wrapped ETH:

/**
 * @notice Called during pricing operations.
 * @dev asset not used since setup function confirms `asset` is weETH.
 * @return price of weETH in USD
 */
function getPriceInUSD(ERC20) external view override returns (uint256) {
    return
        priceRouter.getPriceInUSD(wETH).mulDivDown(IRateProvider(address(weETH)).getRate(), 10 ** weETH.decimals());
}

Reference: weEthExtension.sol#L42-L50

Since eETH is exchangeable for ETH by withdrawing, it should always exchangeable for the same amount of ETH after waiting in a withdrawal queue. However, the market value of eETH can fluctuate from wETH due to numerous market conditions, which could lead to a large deviation in the values of these assets. Assuming a 1:1 peg may overvalue or undervalue positions that are priced based on weETH if the prices are diverged. This could open up arbitrage opportunities, or share price drops when rebalancing from positions priced using this extension, which could exceed allowed rebalance deviations. It is important to note that if there is a significant depegging of the price of eETH to ETH, strategists should consider withdrawing their weETH positions, as that will lead to a 1:1 conversion after the withdrawal queue delay.

Response by Seven Seas

The Cellar is already setup to use permissioned withdrawals, so it is a much riskier arbitrage option for attackers. In addition the strategists do have the ability to usntake eETH in the event of a major depeg.
