DeFi Smart Contract Vulnerabilities Audit Guide

Here's a thinking process:

  1. Analyze User Request:

    • Topic: DeFi smart contract vulnerabilities
    • Quantity: 3 common ones
    • Requirement: Specific detection methods
    • Format: List format
  2. Identify Key Vulnerabilities in DeFi Smart Contracts:
    I need to pick 3 that are very common, well-documented, and have specific detection techniques. Good candidates:

    • Reentrancy attacks
    • Integer overflow/underflow (though less common now with Solidity ^0.8.0, still relevant in older code or other languages)
    • Access control issues (missing/misconfigured)
    • Front-running / MEV related issues
    • Logic bugs in financial operations (e.g., incorrect math, wrong token mappings)
    • Oracle manipulation
    • Flash loan attacks (often rely on other vulnerabilities)
    • Token approval exploits (ERC2
