Security Audit
June 30th, 2023
Version 1.0.0
Presented by 0xMacro
This document includes the results of the security audit for thirdweb's smart contract code as found in the section titled ‘Source Code’. The security audit was performed by the Macro security team from June 13, 2023 to June 23, 2023.
The purpose of this audit is to review the source code of certain thirdweb 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 |
| Medium | 1 | - | - | 1 |
| Code Quality | 4 | - | - | 4 |
| Informational | 2 | - | - | 2 |
thirdweb 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:

We audited the following contracts specificially for the Dynamic Drops audit:
| Source Code | SHA256 |
|---|---|
| contracts/drop/DropERC1155.sol |
|
| contracts/drop/DropERC20.sol |
|
| contracts/drop/DropERC721.sol |
|
| contracts/drop/extension/DropERC1155Logic.sol |
|
| contracts/drop/extension/DropERC1155Storage.sol |
|
| contracts/drop/extension/DropERC20Logic.sol |
|
| contracts/drop/extension/DropERC20Storage.sol |
|
| contracts/drop/extension/DropERC721Logic.sol |
|
| contracts/drop/extension/DropERC721Storage.sol |
|
We audited the following contracts specificially for the Loyalty Card audit:
| Source Code | SHA256 |
|---|---|
| contracts/LoyaltyCard.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.

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. |
LoyaltyCard.mintWithSignature always only mints 1 NFT to the user as stated in the comments:
/// @dev Mints an NFT according to the provided mint request. Always mints 1 NFT.
and defined by the line LoyaltyCard#L276:
_safeMint(_to, 1);
However, in _collectPrice, the total price the user has to pay is calculated as follows:
uint256 totalPrice = _quantityToClaim * _pricePerToken;
Thus, for quantity > 1, the user has to pay the total price determined by the quantity, despite only getting 1 NFT minted.
Remediations to Consider
Consider only allowing mint request with quantity = 1 and otherwise revert.
Reference: DropERC20Logic.sol#L124, DropERC721Logic.sol#L199, DropERC1155Logic.sol#L206
DropERC20Logic inherits from Drop contract which implements the payable claim(…) function that calls _collectPriceOnClaim to transfer payment to feeRecipient and saleRecipient.
The issue of locking native tokens in the contract occurs under the following circumstances:
claimConditions is set to ERC20.claim with appropriate amount of ERC20 tokens approved and accidentally also passes native tokens along.As a result, the claim call succeeds but the native tokens passed along will be locked within the DropERC20 contract.
Note that this issue also applies to DropERC721Logic and DropERC1155Logic.
An admin could rescue the tokens by adding a new extension that provides appropriate function to transfer tokens back to original owners. However, it is recommended to avoid such situations in the first place.
Consider checking that no native tokens are transferred (msg.value == 0) when payment currency is set to ERC20.
ReentrancyGuardUpgradeable not initialized
LoyaltyCard inherits from ReentrancyGuardUpgradeable but is not being initialized in the initialize function.
Note that due to the logic in ReentrancyGuardUpgradeable, this doesn’t impose any security risk, but it is considered as best practice to properly initialize all parent contracts.
Remediations to Consider
Consider initializing ReentrancyGuardUpgradeable properly by adding __ReentrancyGuard_init to the initialize function.
OPERATOR_ROLE
OPERATOR_ROLE is declared in the following contracts:
However, this role is not used anywhere else in the code
Remediations to Consider
Consider removing OPERATOR_ROLE declarations from above contracts.
The following imports of ReentrancyGuardInit are not required and can be removed:
The following import of ERC20VotesStorage is not required and can be removed:
Due to the use of dynamic contract pattern and its use of unstructured storage, __gap variables declared in some of the upgradable contracts are not needed. Consider removing the __gap variable from the following files:
LoyaltyCard allows the transfers of NFTs by default; enabled by the following line in initialize:
_setupRole(TRANSFER_ROLE, address(0));
Due to the use case of LoyaltyCard - namely issuing NFTs to loyal customers - consider restricting transfers by default for normal users and only allow transfers for admins having the TRANSFER_ROLE assigned.
OpenEditionERC721 has been recently updated to support a new fee mechanism called “flat fee” besides “percentage fee”. However, all three drop contracts only support “percentage fee”. Consider updating drop contracts to support “flat fee” in addition to “percentage fee”.
