DeFi Smart Contract Vulnerabilities Audit Guide

Here's a thinking process:

  1. Analyze User Request:

    • Topic: DeFi smart contract vulnerabilities
    • Quantity: 3 common vulnerabilities
    • Requirements: List them, be specific, include how to detect them
    • Output Format: List format with details
  2. Identify Key Vulnerabilities in DeFi Smart Contracts:
    I need to pick 3 of the most common, impactful, and well-documented vulnerabilities in DeFi smart contracts. 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 (owner-only functions, proxy patterns, admin key compromise)
    • Flash loan attacks (manipulation of price orphans, oracle manipulation)
    • Front-running / MEV issues
    • Logic errors in token
