Here's a thinking process:
-
Understand User Request:
- User wants: List 3 common DeFi smart contract vulnerabilities
- For each: How to detect them
- Must be specific
-
Identify Key DeFi Vulnerabilities:
I need to pick 3 well-known, impactful, and commonly discussed DeFi smart contract vulnerabilities. Good candidates:- Reentrancy attacks (e.g., The DAO)
- Integer overflow/underflow (though less common now with Solidity ^0.8.0, still relevant in older code or via library interactions)
- Access control issues (owner-only functions, proxy admin takeovers)
- Flash loan attacks (manipulating prices, draining liquidity)
- Oracle manipulation/price feed vulnerabilities
- Front-running / MEV related issues
- Reentrancy guards missing
- Logic errors in swap/liquidity functions
