DeFi Smart Contract Vulnerabilities Audit Guide

Here's a thinking process:

  1. Understand User Request:

    • User wants 3 DeFi smart contract vulnerabilities for an audit report
    • Must be specific
    • Format: Description
  2. Identify Key DeFi Vulnerability Categories:

    • Reentrancy
    • Access control / Privilege escalation
    • Math errors / Overflow/Underflow (though less common now with Solidity 0.8+)
    • Front-running / MEV related
    • Oracle manipulation
    • Logic flaws / State management
    • Flash loan exploits
    • Token standards issues (ERC20/777/820)
    • Race conditions
    • Unchecked return values
    • etc.

I need to pick 3 that are distinct, impactful, and commonly found in audits, and describe them specifically for an audit report context.

  1. **Select 3 Specific
