VOE-01M: Centralized Control of Price Reported
Type | Severity | Location |
---|---|---|
Centralization Concern | VendorOracle.sol:L84-L86 |
Description:
The pegs
mechanism of the contract permits the owner to re-direct the price calculations of a particular asset to a different one with no restrictions.
Impact:
It is currently possible for the owner
to "arbitrarily" set the price calculations of all assets that are queried through the oracle feed.
Example:
contracts/VendorOracle.sol
84function setPeg(address _base, address _peg) external onlyOwner {85 pegs[_base] = _peg;86}
Recommendation:
We advise the pegging mechanism to be exposed solely for the wrapped assets in the constructor
and to not be exposed as an invoke-able method given that it significantly affects the integrity of the oracle system.
Alleviation:
The setPeg
function has been omitted from the codebase thereby eliminating a significant centralization risk and alleviating this exhibit.
