DeFi Smart Contract Vulnerabilities Audit Guide

Here's a thinking process:

  1. Analyze User Request:

    • Topic: DeFi smart contract vulnerabilities
    • Quantity: 3 common ones
    • Requirements: List them, explain how to detect each, be specific
  2. Identify Key Vulnerabilities in DeFi Smart Contracts:
    I need to pick 3 of the most common, impactful, and well-documented vulnerabilities. Good candidates:

    • Reentrancy attacks
    • Integer overflow/underflow (though less common now with Solidity ^0.8.0, still relevant in older code or via libraries)
    • Access control issues (owner-only functions, role-based access)
    • Front-running / MEV related issues
    • Flash loan attacks (often exploiting other vulnerabilities)
    • Oracle manipulation
    • Arithmetic errors (underflow/overflow)
    • Logic errors in tokenomics

Let's stick to the most
