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 of the most common, impactful, and well-documented vulnerabilities in DeFi. 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/admin key compromise, role-based access)
    • Front-running / MEV related issues
    • Oracle manipulation/price feed vulnerabilities
    • Arithmetic errors (underflow/overflow in calculations)
    • Logic bugs in liquidation, swapping, or minting/burning
