The Zero Person Billion Dollar Company ($COMPANY): a pre-launch audit of one token on Robinhood Chain (4663). Read AUDIT.md first; it lists the guarantees and the known, accepted limits.

What the contracts are for:

CompanyToken: a fixed 1,000,000,000 supply ERC-20 with permit. Ownership is renounced in the constructor; there is no mint and no upgrade.
CompanyHook: owns the token's only Uniswap v4 pool, paired with IMD. All liquidity is locked forever. It takes 4% of the IMD side of every …

1.highmaxConvert() reads in-range liquidity at call time: just-in-time liquidity inflates the round cap and makes sandwiching convert() profitablecontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:595
```
        uint256 liquidity = IPoolManager(poolManager).getLiquidity(id);
```
The only bound on how much IMD a conversion round sells is maxConvert(): 0.25% of the IMD/USDG pool's virtual IMD depth, derived from PoolManager.getLiquidity(id), i.e. the liquidity active at the current tick of a hookless, permissionless pool, read in the same transaction as the sale. Anyone can add a narrow position around the current tick with modifyLiquidity and remove it again in the same transaction, so the caller chooses the cap.

AUDIT.md guarantee 4 ('sandwiching costs more in that pool's 0.9% fees than it can move the price') only holds while a round is really limited to 0.25% of the liquidity the attacker trades against. With the cap inflated, one round sells the entire pendingConvert of all five stocks (the 1-minute spacing and the self-call isolation do not help: it is one round), into the attacker's own position at a price the attacker pushed just before.

The attack is one atomic transaction from a contract (swap, add liquidity, token.convert(), remove liquidity, swap back are separate unlocks; the isUnlocked() guard only blocks conversion inside a foreign unlock), carries no inventory risk, and is repeatable every CONVERT_INTERVAL while a reserve waits. Victims are all $COMPANY holders: the stock share of their fees is bought at the pushed price.

On the fork (block ~26139145) the IMD/USDG pool has ~19,752 IMD of virtual depth, so the honest cap is 49.39 IMD per round (read from the fork test); the push-and-buy-back fee cost is ~0.9% x 2 of the push, so the attack pays once the five reserves together exceed roughly 1-2% of the pool's depth (~180 IMD, i.e. about $120k of trade volume since the last round; reserves only drain when someone claims or converts).

Merged from audit_math, audit_permissions, audit_flow and audit_economics (same root cause, same line). Minimal fix that keeps the design: do not let a round be bounded only by state the caller can change in the same transaction.

For example add an immutable absolute per-round ceiling (the attached proof passes with if (cap > 50e18) cap = 50e18; before dividing by five), and/or cap the round by min(current depth, depth recorded at the previous round in an earlier block) and skip the round when the IMD/USDG sqrtPrice has moved more than a small bound since the stored one. Reading liquidity from a previous block alone is not enough on a chain with sub-second blocks.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/ConvertCapJit.t.sol (run from contracts/). Setup identical to test/Company.t.sol: IMD/USDG full-range at 1:1 with 10,000 IMD of virtual depth (honest maxConvert() = 25 IMD). alice buys 1,000 IMD, bob buys 10 x 3,333 IMD through CompanyRouter: 514.95 IMD waits in the five reserves. Warp 60 s. Attacker holding 1,000,000 IMD + 1,000,000 USDG, no $COMPANY:
1. PoolSwapTest exact-in 10,000 IMD -> USDG on IMD/USDG;
2. PoolModifyLiquidityTest adds 2,000,000e18 liquidity over 3 tick spacings around the new tick; maxConvert() now returns 10,004.77 IMD; (3) token.convert(): imd.balanceOf(token) drops by 514.95 IMD (every stock's whole reserve, 20x the honest cap, sold at ~0.25 USDG/IMD); (4) remove the position; (5) swap all USDG gained back to IMD. Expected: the round sells at most 25 IMD and the attacker's IMD+USDG (valued 1:1) after <= before. Actual: the test fails with 'sandwiching the conversion must not be profitable: 2000249.54e18 > 2000000e18' (attacker +249.54 IMD-equivalent after all fees; holders' 514.95 IMD became ~130 USDG worth of stock). With a 50 IMD absolute cap patched into _convertAll the same test passes (round sells 50 IMD, attacker ends -97.5).
2.lowSecond hop (USDG -> stock) is sized only by the IMD/USDG pool: a stock pool thinner than ~round/fee is sandwichable, and nothing on-chain enforces thatcontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:559
```
        uint256 stockOut = _swapExactIn(_key(usd, assets[asset], stockPools[asset]), usd, usdOut);
```
Each stock's share of a round is maxConvert()/5 and its USDG output is swapped into the fixed USDG/stock pool with no minimum output and no cap related to that pool's depth or fee. The 'fees exceed price impact' argument needs stockDepth > perStockRound / fee; for the deployed tiers (USDG/NVDA 0.01%, AMC 0.1%, MSTR 0.25%, GOOGL/AAPL 0.3%) that means the NVDA pool must stay at least ~5x deeper than IMD/USDG.

On the fork the stock pools are $8M-$170M deep against ~$198k for IMD/USDG, so the attack is not profitable today (audit_permissions' fork simulation: a $2k-$200k push loses 0.5-50 USDG); it becomes profitable whenever IMD/USDG liquidity grows or a stock pool's liquidity leaves, both permissionless, and the routes cannot be changed. Merged from audit_flow (medium) and audit_permissions (info); kept as low because the exploit needs third-party liquidity to change first.

Fix: bound each stock's round by its own pool too, e.g. min(cap/5, fee_bps/BPS x that pool's virtual USDG depth), or skip the stock when its pool price moved more than a small bound since the previous round. An absolute per-round ceiling (the fix for the high finding) also bounds this leg.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/StockHop.t.sol (passes, i.e. the sandwich is profitable).

IMD/USDG at 1:1 with 1,000,000e18 liquidity (per-stock round 500 IMD), USDG/NVDA at 1:1 with the deployed tier (fee 100, spacing 1) and 20,000e18 liquidity; alice buys 1,000 IMD, bob 5 x 3,500 IMD: 55.5 IMD waits for NVDA.

Attacker: buy NVDA with 5,000 USDG, call token.convert(), sell the NVDA back.

Expected (AUDIT.md guarantee 4): unprofitable.

Actual: the round buys 35.12 NVDA for holders instead of 54.84 (-36%) and the attacker ends +18.91 USDG.
3.lowHook fee on IMD-specified swaps is charged on the requested amount: partial fills at a price limit overpay, and an exact-out sell can Panic inside the hookcontracts/src/CompanyHook.sol:279
```
        uint256 fee = exactIn ? (amount * FEE_BPS) / BPS : (amount * FEE_BPS) / (BPS - FEE_BPS);
```
When IMD is the specified currency (exact-in buy, exact-out sell) beforeSwap computes the fee from params.amountSpecified, charges it and stores it in FEE_SLOT; afterSwap reads it back unchanged. Uniswap v4 fills a swap only up to sqrtPriceLimitX96 (or the end of liquidity) without reverting, so when the pool delivers less than requested the swapper still pays 4%/96% of the full request, far more than 4% of what traded.

The IMD-unspecified cases are correct because afterSwap uses the realised delta. Second effect at line 319: the Trade event computes poolQuote - fee, which underflows (Panic 0x11, surfaced as Wrap__FailedHookCall) when a partially filled exact-out sell delivers less IMD than the pre-computed fee, so the swap fails with an opaque error.

CompanyRouter and CompanyEthRouter use exact-in with extreme limits and are unaffected on buys; third-party routers (Universal Router exact-out, any integrator passing a real price limit) reach it. Loss is bounded by the user's own parameters. Merged from audit_math and audit_permissions.

Fix: in afterSwap compare the provisional fee with 4% of the IMD the pool actually moved and either revert with a clear PartialFill error or charge only the realised fee and credit the difference back; and compute the event's quoteAmount without an unchecked-looking subtraction (e.g. clamp).
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test exactOutSellPartialFill (both pass, demonstrating the behaviour).

Setup as test/Company.t.sol; alice and bob each buy 1,000 IMD (pool holds 1,920 IMD). alice via PoolSwapTest sells $COMPANY exact-out 3,000 IMD (amountSpecified = +3000e18) with sqrtPriceLimitX96 2,000 ticks from the current tick.

Expected: fee = 4% of the IMD actually paid out.

Actual: pendingHolderFees+pendingProtocolFees grow by exactly 125 IMD (3000e18*400/9600) while alice receives 86.74 IMD: 5,903 bps of the gross delivered.

With a limit 40 ticks away the swap reverts with Wrap__FailedHookCall wrapping Panic(0x11) (revert data contains 4e487b71...11) because poolQuote < fee at line 319.
4.lowAnyone can reset any wallet's 7-day expiry timer for free by moving 1 wei out of the PoolManager with take()contracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:328
```
            if (!toSystem && (msg.sender == to || from == poolManager || lastActive[to] == 0)) {
```
A transfer whose from is the PoolManager is treated as a buy and refreshes lastActive[to]. The contract notice and AUDIT.md section 4 assume this costs the buyer the 4% fee.

It does not: inside a plain PoolManager.unlock anyone can take(COMPANY, victim, 1), then sync + transfer(1) + settle from their own balance. No swap, no hook, no fee: the recipient's timer is reset by a stranger for gas.

After the ping expiredRewardsOf(victim) is 0, so recycle() and the strict claim move nothing to feeRecipient; a keeper (or the inactive holder's second wallet) can keep every wallet 'active' forever, voiding the expiry stream that AUDIT.md guarantee 6 describes. Nobody's tokens are at risk. Merged from audit_permissions and audit_economics.

Fix: count a receipt from the PoolManager as activity only when it is part of a swap through this token's pool (e.g. the hook records the buyer in afterSwap in a transient slot the token checks), or drop the from == poolManager rule and rely on msg.sender == to / router delivery; and correct the documented assumption.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test freeTimerReset (passes, demonstrating the behaviour). alice and bob buy 1,000 IMD each; bob sends 1 wei $COMPANY to contract P.

Warp 8 days: expiredRewardsOf(alice, 0) > 0.

P calls poolManager.unlock and in its callback does take(COMPANY, alice, 1); sync(COMPANY); transfer(poolManager, 1); settle().

Expected (per the notice): a stranger cannot refresh alice's timer without paying the 4% buy fee.

Actual: lastActive[alice] == block.timestamp, expiredRewardsOf(alice, 0) == 0, pendingHolderFees and pendingProtocolFees unchanged, recycle(alice) returns 0.
5.lowreleaseStuckReserve treats an idle stock as stuck: lastConvert is not refreshed when nothing is waiting, so a healthy stock's fresh reserve can be diverted to IMD by anyonecontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:606
```
        if (block.timestamp <= lastConvert[asset] + STUCK_PERIOD) revert TooSoon();
```
lastConvert[a] is set at deployment and advances only on a successful convertStock or a release. _convertAll skips a stock with nothing waiting (if (imdIn == 0) continue;) without touching it, and reserves drain to zero within a few rounds whenever pendingConvert < cap.

After any 30-day window without a successful conversion of stock a (simply no trades, or no reserve), the first fee arrival makes releaseStuckReserve(a) succeed immediately for anyone, in the same block as the trade and before any conversion was attempted. The notice says this path is for 'a stock that can't be bought for 30 days'; here it fires on a stock that converts fine in the same block.

The promised asset mix for that batch is broken at a third party's choice (IMD instead of stock), and it hands a large holder immediately claimable IMD instead of a stream of later rounds. Merged from audit_permissions and audit_flow.

Fix: measure stuckness from failed attempts, e.g. also stamp lastConvert[a] = block.timestamp when a round finds nothing to convert for a, or record when the reserve became non-zero and require STUCK_PERIOD since max(that, lastConvert[a]).
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test releaseHealthyIdleStock (passes, demonstrating the behaviour). alice and bob buy 1,000 IMD each (6 IMD reserved per stock); warp 1 min, convert(); warp 1 min, convert(): all reserves are 0.

Warp 31 days with no trades. carol buys 1,000 IMD: pendingConvert(1) == 3e18; a snapshot shows convert() buys NVDA normally.

Expected: releaseStuckReserve(1) reverts TooSoon.

Actual: it returns 3e18, pendingConvert(1) becomes 0 and owed[0] grows by 3e18.
6.lowThe stock half of each fee is credited to holders at conversion time, not when the fee was paid, so whoever holds during an attacker-timed convert() takes the accumulated reservecontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:550
```
        distributeStock(asset);
```
distribute() credits the IMD half of a holder fee to the holders of that moment, but the five stock reserves are credited only in convertStock -> distributeStock, pro rata to eligibleSupply at conversion time, which can be minutes to days after the fees were paid and which anyone triggers with the public convert() once per minute.

This contradicts the comment at line 317 ('Rewards stay with whoever held the tokens when they were earned, for every asset'): a holder who sold between fee arrival and conversion gets no stock, and a buyer who arrives after the fees were paid does.

Unlike the accepted 'dividend sniping around large trades' (AUDIT.md section 4), the sniper chooses the moment and the prize is the whole accumulated reserve paid out at maxConvert() per round; with the 4% fee each way it pays whenever reserve >> 8% of the position cost, which at the planned 306 IMD launch market cap is a few hundred IMD of reserve. From audit_economics.

Fix (design choice): keep a per-share index of 'IMD reserved' at distribution time and credit each stock pro rata to that index, or convert on every distributing trade so the timing is not attacker-chosen; otherwise document it next to the accepted sniping limit.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test stockCreditedToHoldersAtConversionTime (passes, demonstrating the behaviour). alice buys 1,000 IMD and is the only eligible holder while bob buys and sells 3,333 IMD ten times (NVDA reserve > 100 IMD, all from fees paid while only alice held). carol then buys 4,000 IMD (19.3% of eligible weight), warp 1 min, carol calls convert().

Expected (per the line-317 comment): the stock bought with those fees is alice's.

Actual: carol is credited 0.955 NVDA and alice 3.983, exactly carol's current weight share of every round.
7.infoStock already bought and owed to holders has no fallback if the stock token blocklists the token contract: the 30-day release covers only the unconverted IMD reservecontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:608
```
        amount = pendingConvert[asset];
```
AUDIT.md guarantee 7 says a stock blocked for 30 days 'can be released to IMD holders'. releaseStuckReserve moves only pendingConvert. Stock bought by earlier rounds sits in owed[asset]; if the stock token later blocks this contract as a sender, every _tryTransfer of that asset fails: claim() keeps it claimable forever, _recycle cannot move it to feeRecipient either, and no path converts or releases it.

The contract cannot move tokens it is blocked from sending, so no in-contract fix exists; the gap is in the stated guarantee. From audit_flow.

Fix: document that already-converted stock is unrecoverable after a blocklisting of the contract (the release only covers the IMD reserve), or hold converted stock in a separate per-stock escrow contract so a blocklisting of one address does not freeze all of it.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test owedStockFrozenWhenTokenBlocked (passes, demonstrating the behaviour). alice and bob buy 1,000 IMD; warp 1 min; convert(): owed[1] = 4.94 NVDA.

MockStock NVDA blocks address(token). alice.claim(): paid[1] == 0 (PayoutFailed).

Warp 8 days, recycle(alice): expired[1] == 0 (refused).

Warp 30 days, releaseStuckReserve(1) moves only the 1 IMD still pending.

Expected: a way to redirect the unpayable stock after 30 days.

Actual: owed[1] stays 4.94 NVDA and the contract still holds it, with no function able to move it.
8.infoExpired stock rewards are paid to the claimer when the stock token blocks feeRecipientcontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:504
```
                withdrawnRewards[a][holder] -= amount;
```
claim() first runs _recycle(msg.sender); if the stock token refuses the transfer to feeRecipient the expired amount is put back into the holder's withdrawable balance, and the same claim then pays it to the claimer and resets the timer.

The notice says expired rewards 'go to the protocol address'; a feeRecipient that a stock token blocks (plausible given US-person restrictions, and the hook owner can point it anywhere) silently turns strict expiry into no expiry for that stock. No user loses funds. From audit_permissions.

Fix if strictness matters: keep refused expired amounts in a separate per-holder bucket that only a later recycle can move, instead of re-adding them to the claimable balance.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test blockedFeeRecipient_expiredStockGoesToClaimer (passes, demonstrating the behaviour). alice and bob buy 1,000 IMD; warp 1 min; convert(); alice's NVDA = 4.34.

Warp 8 days: expiredRewardsOf(alice, 1) == 4.34.

MockStock NVDA blocks FEE_RECIPIENT. alice.claim().

Expected: paid[1] == 0 (expired, stays for a later recycle).

Actual: paid[0] == 0 (expired IMD went to the fee recipient) but paid[1] >= 4.34 NVDA was paid to alice.
9.infoTrade event attributes CompanyEthRouter trades to tx.origin: the hookData carrying the real buyer is only decoded for CompanyRoutercontracts/src/CompanyHook.sol:317
```
        address trader = sender == router && hookData.length == 32 ? abi.decode(hookData, (address)) : tx.origin;
```
CompanyEthRouter passes abi.encode(r.user) as hookData on the token-pool swap ('so the hook credits the right buyer'), but afterSwap decodes hookData only when sender == router. For ethRouter trades the event names tx.origin, which differs from the user for smart-contract wallets, relayers and batched calls; third-party routers' trades are attributed to tx.origin as well. Event-only, no accounting depends on trader.

Note also that tx.origin in the hook is a pattern some scanners flag; it is harmless here. Merged from audit_permissions and audit_flow.

Fix: (sender == router || sender == ethRouter) && hookData.length == 32.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test tradeEventTxOriginForEthRouter (passes, demonstrating the behaviour).

A contract wallet W calls ethRouter.buyWithEth{value: 1 ether}(token, 0, deadline) from a transaction whose tx.origin is alice.

Expected: Trade.trader == W.

Actual: Trade.trader == alice.

#1763Audit economicsClaude3 findings · 1 high

The review is complete. Findings are in .imd-findings.json at the repository root, and no project file was changed. The tree is clean apart from my scratch tests under contracts/test/scratch/.

One high finding, with a proof test. The conversion's only sandwich defence is the per-round cap, and maxConvert() derives it from the IMD/USDG pool's in-range liquidity at the moment of the call. That pool is hookless, so an attacker adds a narrow just-in-time position in the same transaction and inflates the cap to cover the entire waiting reserve. The classic push, convert, unwind sandwich then pays. The proof at contracts/test/scratch/ConvertCapInflation.t.sol fails on the current code and passed when I temporarily added a reference-price guard to the token (source restored afterwards).

Measured in the proof	Value
Honest cap	25 IMD
Cap during the attack	3,776 IMD
IMD the token sold in one round	515 IMD
Stock holders received for it	227 (fair value about 509)
Attacker net gain after all fees	212 IMD

On live Robinhood Chain state at block 26139136 the pool holds 19,752 IMD of virtual depth, so the honest cap is 49 IMD and the attack is profitable as soon as the five reserves together exceed about 178 IMD.

Two low findings, reproduced with passing scratch tests.

Expiry timer reset for free. Any transfer whose sender is the PoolManager counts as a buy. A plain unlock with take of 1 wei to the victim and settle resets anyone's 7-day timer with no swap and no 4% fee, contrary to the documented assumption. Only the fee recipient's expiry income is affected.
Stock share allocated at conversion time. Reserves are credited pro rata to whoever holds when convert() runs, not when the fees were paid. Since anyone can time the rounds, a late buyer captures reserve earned by earlier holders. It is only profitable at small market caps, which includes the launch phase.

Checked and found sound. IMD and stock solvency across distribute, convert, claim, recycle and release; the flash-borrow guard through the routers' unlocks, the ETH router's native-transfer callback, and the hook's own unlock; the fee math for all four swap shapes against the vendored v4 Hooks code; eligibleSupply as the sum of weights including self-transfers; expiry never moving more than the expired amount and only to the fee recipient; blocked stocks and holders isolated per asset; and the second conversion hop, where the live stock pools are at least $8M deep against roughly $99 per stock per round. Existing suite: 32 tests pass. For scanners, the token has no owner path or tx.origin; the hook uses tx.origin only to label the Trade event, which is harmless but worth knowing if a scanner reads the hook.

Not covered. No stateful fuzzing of the expiry checkpoints beyond the project's own fuzz test, and no sequencer-level filtering of stock tokens, which cannot be modelled locally.

highmaxConvert() reads spot in-range liquidity, so just-in-time concentrated liquidity inflates the per-round cap and makes sandwiching the conversion profitablecontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:595
The only protection of the IMD -> USDG -> stock conversion against sandwiching is the per-round cap: maxConvert() returns 0.25% of the IMD/USDG pool's virtual IMD depth, computed from getLiquidity(id), i.e. the liquidity in range at the current tick at the moment of the call. The IMD/USDG pool is hookless, so anyone can add a position there in the same transaction. A position one or two tick spacings wide (tickSpacing 90, about 0.9% per spacing) needs only ~0.45% of its virtual depth in each token, so an attacker inflates the cap to any value with capital of roughly 3.6x the amount they want the token to sell. With the cap inflated to cover the whole waiting reserve, the classic sandwich becomes profitable: push the IMD price down with a swap S, add the narrow position around the pushed price, call the public convert() (no minimum output, price limit MIN_SQRT_PRICE+1), withdraw the position (now holding the IMD the token sold cheaply) and reverse the push. The attacker's cost is 2 x 0.9% of S; the gain is the whole reserve V times the price depression. With V = pendingConvert total and x = honest virtual depth, the attack pays whenever V > 0.9% of x, i.e. the reserve exceeds about 3.6 honest rounds. The documented reasoning ('sandwiching costs more in fees than it can move the price') only holds because V is bounded by 0.25% of x; it is void once the attacker controls x. Everything runs in one transaction from a contract, so no mempool race is needed, and it can be repeated every CONVERT_INTERVAL while the reserve is large.

Live numbers (Robinhood Chain block 26139136): IMD/USDG in-range liquidity 62550955127432234 at tick -253270 gives 19,752 IMD of virtual depth, so maxConvert() = 49.38 IMD; the attack is profitable as soon as the five reserves together exceed ~~178 IMD (~~$1,780), which is 1.5% of the IMD volume traded since the last conversions, i.e. about $119k of volume between rounds (one honest round drains only 49 IMD per minute, and only when someone claims or converts). Victims are all $COMPANY holders: the stock share of their fees is bought at a price the attacker chose.

Fix: do not derive the cap (or the acceptable execution price) from state the caller can change in the same transaction. Keep a reference taken at a previous round at least CONVERT_INTERVAL earlier - for example store the IMD/USDG sqrtPriceX96 and in-range liquidity observed at the last round and (a) cap the round by 0.25% of min(stored, current) depth and (b) skip the round (revert in convertStock, caught by _convertAll) when the first hop's execution price deviates from the stored price by more than a small tolerance. A manipulator then has to hold the pushed price and the position across blocks, exposed to arbitrage against the IMD/ETH pool. A fixed absolute per-round maximum (in IMD) on top of that bounds the damage if the pool thins out. The attached test fails now and passes with such a reference-price guard (verified locally).
Local PoolManager, IMD/USDG full-range pool with 10,000 IMD of virtual depth at 1:1 (honest cap 25 IMD), stock pools 1:1. Alice buys 1,000 IMD, Bob buys 10 x 3,333 IMD through CompanyRouter so pendingConvert is ~103 IMD per stock (515 IMD total). Warp 1 minute. Attacker contract holding 100,000 IMD and 100,000 USDG, in one call: swap 5,000 IMD -> USDG (price falls to ~0.44), add liquidity 1,000,000e18 in [lower-90, lower+180] around the new tick, call token.convert(), remove the position, swap the USDG gained back to IMD.

Expected: the round sells at most 25 IMD and the attacker ends with less value than it started (2 x 0.9% fees on the push).

Actual: maxConvert() during the attack = 3,776.14 IMD; the token sells all 514.95 IMD of its reserve and receives 227.40 stock for it (worth ~509 at the honest price: holders lose 55%); the attacker's IMD+USDG value goes from 200,000 to 200,211.88 (+211.88, after paying all fees) in a single transaction.
lowAnyone can reset any holder's 7-day expiry timer for 1 wei through the PoolManager, without the 4% fee the notice assumescontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:328
_transfer treats any transfer whose from is the PoolManager as a buy and sets lastActive[to]. The contract notice and AUDIT.md section 4 accept that 'buying through a router that delivers to another address resets that address's timer (it costs the buyer the 4% fee)'.

The fee is not required: in a plain PoolManager.unlock, take(COMPANY, victim, 1) then sync/transfer(1)/settle moves 1 wei of the caller's own $COMPANY to the victim with from == poolManager, no swap and no hook fee. Expiry can therefore be defeated for every wallet by a third party at the cost of gas, and recycle on such a wallet moves nothing.

The holder's own tokens are not at risk (recycle still only moves expired rewards to feeRecipient), but the expiry guarantee that funds the protocol address is void: anyone (including a holder who would rather not spend gas on self-transfers, or a service run for all holders) can keep every wallet 'active' indefinitely.

Fix: count a receipt as activity only when the PoolManager transfer is part of a swap, e.g. have the routers deliver tokens with take to themselves and forward with transfer where msg.sender is a system account that marks to active, or restrict the from == poolManager rule to transfers that happen while CompanyHook's transient fee slot shows a swap in progress; and correct the documented assumption.
Alice and Bob each buy 1,000 IMD; Alice has ~30 IMD withdrawable.

Warp 8 days: expiredRewardsOf(alice, 0) == 30 IMD.

Deploy a contract R, send it 1 wei of $COMPANY, call R.reset(alice) which does pm.unlock -> take(COMPANY, alice, 1); sync; transfer(pm, 1); settle.

Expected (per the notice): resetting someone's timer costs a 4% fee on a buy.

Actual: lastActive[alice] == block.timestamp, expiredRewardsOf(alice, 0) == 0, hook.pendingHolderFees and pendingProtocolFees unchanged, recycle(alice) returns 0.

See contracts/test/scratch/TimerReset.t.sol (passes, demonstrating the behaviour).
lowThe stock half of the fee is allocated to holders at conversion time, so a large reserve is a bounty for whoever holds during the attacker-timed convert() roundscontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:550
distribute() credits the IMD half of each holder fee to the holders of that moment (magnified per share), but the five stock reserves are only credited in convertStock -> distributeStock, pro rata to eligibleSupply at the time of the conversion, which can be minutes, hours or days after the fees were paid, and which anyone can trigger with the public convert() once per minute.

Holders who held while the reserve was accumulating have no claim on it; whoever holds when it converts does. Unlike the accepted 'dividend sniping around large trades' (the sniper must predict someone else's trade), here the sniper chooses the moment and the amount is the whole accumulated reserve, paid out at maxConvert() per round.

A sniper who buys a share s of the eligible supply, calls convert() every minute for n rounds and sells pays ~8% of the position (4% each way, no LP fee) and receives s x n x maxConvert() worth of stock; with the live cap of 49.4 IMD per round the sniper is in profit whenever the reserve exceeds ~8% of the position's cost, and from launch (market cap 306 IMD) a 50% position costs ~306 IMD (price impact included), the round trip ~24.5 IMD, and ten rounds against a 500 IMD reserve return ~245 IMD of stock, taken from the holders who earned those fees.

Fix (design choice): account the stock reserve per holder at distribution time, e.g. keep a sixth magnified per-share index for 'IMD reserved' and credit each stock pro rata to that index rather than to current weight; or at least convert on every distribution-triggering trade rather than on demand, which removes the sniper's timing control.
Local setup (contracts/test/scratch/ConvertTiming.t.sol, passes): Alice buys 1,000 IMD and is the only eligible holder while Bob buys and sells 3,333 IMD ten times, leaving 994.9 IMD of reserve.

Carol then buys 4,000 IMD (19.3% of eligible weight) and calls convert() once a minute for ten rounds, then sells.

Expected (holder's view): the reserve built from fees paid while only Alice held is Alice's.

Actual: Carol is credited 47.13 stock (19.3% of every round) and Alice 196.5; Carol's round trip cost 313.6 IMD at this market cap (~5,000+ IMD after Alice's buy, local cap 25 IMD), so here the snipe loses money.

It is profitable only while market cap < ~12.5 x rounds x maxConvert(), i.e. with the live cap of 49.4 IMD and ten rounds below ~~6,100 IMD (~~$61k), which includes the launch phase (306 IMD) whenever the reserve exceeds ~8% of the position's cost.

#879Audit permissionsClaude7 findings · 1 high
The review is complete and the findings are in .imd-findings.json at the repository root (7 findings: 1 high, 3 low, 3 info). No source files were changed; everything I wrote lives under contracts/test/scratch/.

Scope covered. I inventoried every state-changing entry point of the hook, token and both routers (including receive, unlockCallback and the eight hook callbacks), traced each guard, and worked through the Access Control, Trust Gap and Asymmetry passes against the eight guarantees in AUDIT.md. Access control itself is sound: the hook owner can only openPool once and set feeRecipient, the token has no owner-checked function, unlockCallback on all four contracts is reachable only through that contract's own unlock, pools with this hook cannot be created by outsiders, and the flash-borrow guards hold (corrections zero out borrowed weight; distribute and convert refuse foreign unlocks). The fuzzed solvency invariant and the eligible-supply invariant held under everything I tried.

High: the conversion cap can be inflated just-in-time. maxConvert reads the IMD/USDG pool's active liquidity, which anyone can grow with a tight position in a hookless pool and remove in the same transaction. The per-round cap is the only sandwich protection, and convert() runs between an attacker's own unlocks, so one atomic transaction can push the IMD price down, add liquidity, sell the entire five-stock reserve at the pushed price into the attacker's position, and unwind. The proof test fails on the current code with the attacker ending up 126 IMD-equivalent richer and holders receiving about 31% less stock. The attack pays whenever the waiting reserve exceeds roughly 0.9% of the pool's honest depth, about $1,800 at live liquidity.

Low findings, each with a reproduction:

Any holder of 1 wei can reset anyone's expiry timer for free via PoolManager take/settle, contradicting the documented 4% cost.

releaseStuckReserve fires on a healthy stock whose reserve merely sat at zero for 30 days, because an idle round never refreshes lastConvert.

Swaps with IMD as the specified currency are charged on the requested amount, not the filled amount. A price-limited exact-out sell paid a 59% effective fee, and the hook panics when delivered IMD is below the fee.

Info: expired stock goes to the claimer if the stock token blocks feeRecipient; the Trade event attributes ETH-router trades to tx.origin; and the second conversion leg has no cap of its own. I checked that last point on a Robinhood Chain fork: the live stock pools are deep enough ($8M to $284M virtual USDG) that sandwiching the stock leg loses money at every size tried, so it is recorded as a dependency, not a defect.

Not covered: no Slither or Mythril ran (not provided). Stock-token upgrade and US-person sequencer filtering were not modelled, as AUDIT.md accepts.

highConversion cap reads active pool liquidity, which anyone can inflate just-in-time: the whole stock reserve can be sold at a pushed price in one transactioncontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:595
Guarantee 4 of AUDIT.md ("Conversion can't be profitably sandwiched or drained") rests entirely on maxConvert(): one round may sell at most 0.25% of the IMD/USDG pool's IMD depth, so a sandwich costs more in that pool's 0.9% fee than it can move the price. The depth is computed from getLiquidity(id), the liquidity active at the current tick of a hookless pool.

That value is public state: any account can add a position around the current tick with modifyLiquidity and make the cap arbitrarily large, then remove the position in the same transaction. Nothing in _convertAll limits a round other than this cap and the 1-minute per-stock spacing, and convert() is callable by anyone outside an unlock (several separate unlocks in one transaction are fine, isUnlocked() is false between them).

So in one atomic transaction an attacker can (1) sell IMD into IMD/USDG to push the IMD price down, (2) add a large just-in-time position at the pushed price, (3) call convert(): the cap is now huge, every stock's full pendingConvert is sold IMD -> USDG at the pushed price, almost entirely into the attacker's position, (4) remove the position, (5) buy back the IMD sold in step 1.

The push costs 0.9% fees on the regular liquidity each way; the gain is the discount on the entire reserve of all five stocks. The attack is profitable whenever the total reserve waiting to convert exceeds roughly fee x depth of the honest pool (about 0.9% of the IMD/USDG active depth, ~178 IMD / ~$1,800 at the live depth of 19,752 IMD read on the fork at block 26139144), i.e. after a few large buys before any claim() or convert() has run; it is risk-free and repeatable.

The sum of the five reserves is exactly what the honest cap was meant to keep from being sold at once. Holders receive 20-35% less stock for that IMD; the attacker keeps the difference. Minimal fix that preserves the design: do not trust an instantaneous liquidity read.

Bound the per-round amount by a value that a single transaction cannot inflate, e.g. the minimum of the current liquidity-based cap and a cap recorded at the previous successful round in an earlier block (or a slowly moving average of recorded depths), and/or an absolute per-round IMD ceiling fixed at deployment. A sanity check that the pool price has not moved more than a few percent since the last round (stored sqrtPriceX96) would additionally defeat the push itself.
Unit setup as in test/Company.t.sol (IMD/USDG at 1:1 with 10,000 IMD of full-range virtual depth; honest cap 25 IMD). alice buys 1,000 IMD; bob buys 3,333 IMD ten times -> ~103 IMD waiting per stock (515 IMD total).

Warp 1 minute.

Attacker (holding IMD and USDG, no $COMPANY) in ONE transaction: sell 2,000 IMD into IMD/USDG (price ~0.70 USDG/IMD); add a position with liquidity 2,000,000e18 over [tick-180, tick+270] (200x the pool); maxConvert() now returns 6,020 IMD instead of 25; call token.convert(): 514.95 IMD are sold (20x the honest cap) and stock 0 receives 70.87 units for 102.99 IMD (fair: ~102); remove the position; buy back 2,000 IMD.

Expected: the round sells at most 25 IMD and the sandwich loses money.

Actual: attacker's IMD+USDG value rises by 126.3 (from 14,970,000 to 14,970,126), holders get ~31% less stock.

The proof test (test/scratch/CapInflation.t.sol) asserts attacker value after <= before and fails with: 'sandwiching the conversion must not be profitable: 14970126347796892254032103 > 14970000000000000000273395'.
lowAny 1-wei holder can reset any wallet's activity timer for free through the PoolManager, so expiry can be postponed indefinitely at no costcontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:328
A transfer whose from is the PoolManager is treated as a buy and refreshes the recipient's lastActive. The contract notice and AUDIT.md (Known and accepted) say this only costs a router buy delivered to that address, i.e. the 4% fee. But any account can move tokens out of the PoolManager without a swap: inside its own unlock it calls take(token, victim, 1), then sync + transfer(1) + settle to repay the 1 wei from its own balance.

The recipient's timer is reset by a stranger at the cost of nothing (the 1 wei comes straight back from the pinger).

Consequence: expiredRewardsOf(victim) returns 0 right after the ping, so recycle() and the strict claim never move the inactive wallet's rewards to feeRecipient; a service (or the inactive holder's second wallet) can keep every wallet 'active' forever, defeating the 7-day expiry entirely for the protocol's benefit side. Nobody loses tokens; the loser is feeRecipient's expected expired-reward stream and the documented economic assumption.

Fix: only count a receipt from the PoolManager as activity when the swap actually went through this token's pool, e.g. have the hook record the buyer in afterSwap (it already decodes it for the Trade event) and let the token read that transient flag, or drop the from == poolManager rule and rely on msg.sender == to / router-delivered buys.
Unit setup. alice buys 1,000 IMD, bob buys 1,000 IMD. bob transfers 1 wei $COMPANY to a contract P.

Warp 8 days: expiredRewardsOf(alice, 0) > 0.

P calls poolManager.unlock and in unlockCallback does take(COMPANY, alice, 1); sync(COMPANY); COMPANY.transfer(poolManager, 1); settle().

Expected (per the documented model): a stranger cannot refresh alice's timer without paying the 4% buy fee.

Actual: lastActive[alice] == block.timestamp, expiredRewardsOf(alice, 0) == 0, P's balance is back to 0; verified by test_lead_freeTimerReset in test/scratch/Leads.t.sol.
lowreleaseStuckReserve treats an idle stock as stuck: lastConvert is never refreshed when there is nothing to convert, so a healthy stock's new reserve can be diverted to IMD by anyonecontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:606
lastConvert[a] is only written by a successful convertStock (and by releaseStuckReserve). _convertAll skips a stock with if (imdIn == 0) continue; (line 530) without touching lastConvert. After a quiet period in which the reserve was 0 (every reserve drains to 0 within a few rounds whenever pendingConvert < cap), lastConvert falls more than 30 days behind although the stock's token and pool work perfectly.

The moment trading resumes and distribute() reserves IMD for that stock, anyone can call releaseStuckReserve(asset) in the next transaction and hand the whole stock share to IMD holders. The notice says this path exists for 'a stock that can't be bought for 30 days'; here it fires on a stock that could be bought in the same block.

The economic value is similar (IMD instead of stock at market), but the promised asset mix is broken at a third party's choice, and combined with the accepted dividend sniping it lets a large holder convert the stock share into immediately claimable IMD instead of a stream of later rounds.

Fix: also stamp lastConvert[a] = block.timestamp when a round finds nothing to convert for stock a (or when its reserve is below the dust threshold), so the 30-day clock only measures time during which a conversion was attempted and failed.
Unit setup. alice and bob buy 1,000 IMD each (6 IMD reserved per stock); warp 1 min, convert(); warp 1 min, convert(): all reserves are 0, lastConvert = now.

Warp 31 days with no trades. carol buys 1,000 IMD: pendingConvert(1) == 3e18.

A snapshot shows convert() buys stock 1 normally.

Expected: releaseStuckReserve(1) reverts TooSoon because the stock is not stuck.

Actual: releaseStuckReserve(1) succeeds, returns 3e18, pendingConvert(1) becomes 0 and owed[0] grows by 3e18; verified by test_lead_releaseHealthyIdleStock in test/scratch/Leads.t.sol.
lowWhen IMD is the specified currency the fee is computed on the requested amount, not the amount actually swapped: a sell stopped early by a price limit pays far more than 4%, and panics when delivered contracts/src/CompanyHook.sol:279
beforeSwap charges the fee from params.amountSpecified before the pool runs.

Uniswap v4 fills a swap only up to sqrtPriceLimitX96 (or until liquidity ends) and does not revert on a partial fill, so for an exact-out sell (IMD specified) the hook books and takes 4%/96% of the IMD the seller asked for while the pool may deliver much less; for an exact-in buy the hook takes 4% of the full IMD input even though only part of it is spent. afterSwap then computes the Trade event's quoteAmount as poolQuote - fee, which reverts with a Panic(0x11) underflow whenever the pool delivered less IMD than the fee, so such swaps fail inside the hook instead of with a clean error.

The seller's net IMD delta is (delivered - fee), which can be a few percent of the gross or negative. This is reachable by any integrator that passes a real price limit (the project's own routers and the Universal Router use the extreme limits, so they only hit it when the IMD side of the pool is exhausted, which needs almost all circulating tokens). It is an asymmetry with the IMD-unspecified branch of afterSwap, which correctly uses the realised poolQuote.

Fix: charge every case from realised amounts. Keep beforeSwap's provisional fee for the IMD-specified cases, and in afterSwap compare it with 4% of the IMD the pool actually moved (abs of the IMD delta): if the swap was only partly filled, revert with a clear error (the hook already reverts there today, only with a Panic), or reconcile by charging only the realised 4% and booking the rest back to the swapper. Also guard the Trade event arithmetic so it can never underflow.
Unit setup. alice and bob each buy 1,000 IMD through CompanyRouter (pool holds 1,920 IMD). alice swaps through PoolSwapTest: exact-out 3,000 IMD (amountSpecified = +3000e18, selling $COMPANY) with sqrtPriceLimitX96 set 2,000 ticks from the current tick.

Expected: fee = 4% of the IMD actually paid out.

Actual: pendingHolderFees+pendingProtocolFees grow by 125 IMD (3000e18*400/9600) while alice receives 86.74 IMD net, i.e. a 59% effective fee (5903 bps of gross delivered); with a 5,000-tick limit: 367.3 IMD delivered, 25.4% fee; with a 40- or 400-tick limit the swap reverts inside the hook with Panic(0x11) wrapped in HookCallFailed.

Verified by test_lead_exactOutPartialFill in test/scratch/Leads.t.sol.
infoExpired stock rewards are paid to the claimer when the stock token blocks feeRecipientcontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:439
claim() first runs _recycle(msg.sender); if the stock token refuses the transfer to feeRecipient the expired amount is put back into the holder's withdrawable balance (lines 503-505), and the same claim then pays it to the claimer and resets the timer.

The notice says expired rewards 'go to the protocol address'; a fee recipient that a stock token blocks (a real possibility given the US-person restrictions on Robinhood stock tokens, and the owner can point feeRecipient anywhere) silently turns strict expiry into 'no expiry' for that stock. No user loses funds; the protocol forgoes the expired stock.

If strictness matters, keep refused expired amounts in a separate per-holder 'expiredPending' bucket that only a later recycle can move, instead of re-adding them to the claimable balance.
Unit setup. alice and bob buy 1,000 IMD; warp 1 min; convert(); alice's NVDA = 4.34.

Block FEE_RECIPIENT in the NVDA mock. alice calls claim().

infoTrade event attributes CompanyEthRouter trades to tx.origin and ignores the router's hookDatacontracts/src/CompanyHook.sol:317
Only router (CompanyRouter) is accepted as a trusted sender for the buyer address in hookData; CompanyEthRouter also passes abi.encode(r.user) but falls through to tx.origin. For smart-account or relayed buyers through the ETH router the event names the bundler/relayer, and any third-party router's trades are attributed to tx.origin as well. Event-only, no funds involved.

Fix: (sender == router || sender == ethRouter) && hookData.length == 32.
A contract wallet W (deployed by EOA E, E sends the tx) calls ethRouter.buyWithEth{value: 1 ether}(token, 0, deadline).

Expected: Trade.trader == W.

Actual: Trade.trader == E (tx.origin) because sender == ethRouter != router.
infoThe 0.25% cap only bounds price impact on the IMD/USDG leg; the USDG->stock leg has no bound and is safe only because the live stock pools are deepcontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:559
maxConvert() is derived from the IMD/USDG pool, but each round's USDG output is then swapped into a fixed USDG/stock pool with no minimum output. The sandwich argument in the notice ('costs more in that pool's 0.9% fees') does not cover this leg: a sandwich of the stock leg is profitable roughly when the round's USDG (cap/5, ~$99 at live depth) exceeds fee x USDG virtual depth of the stock pool.

Checked on a Robinhood Chain fork (block 26139144): USDG/NVDA (0.01% fee) has ~$284M virtual USDG depth, GOOGL/AAPL/AMC/MSTR pools $8-13M at 0.1-0.3%, so the thresholds ($28k-$32k) are far above $99 and a simulated push of $2k-$200k before convert() loses 0.5-50 USDG for the attacker.

Not a defect today, but the routes are fixed forever and the guarantee silently depends on third-party liquidity that can leave; the stuck-reserve release only triggers after 30 days without a successful conversion, so a thin stock pool would be drained through sandwiches rather than skipped. Consider a per-stock minimum-output check against a reference (e.g. the stock pool's price at the previous round) or a per-stock cap derived from that pool's own active liquidity.
Fork of Robinhood Chain at block 26139144 (FORK_RPC=https://robinhood.drpc.org, scratch test ForkSandwich.t.sol): deploy as in Company.fork.t.sol, alice buys with 1 ETH and bob with 20 ETH, warp 61s; baseline convert() yields 0.408214 NVDA for stock 1.

Attacker with 300,000 USDG pushes USDG->NVDA by 2,000 / 10,000 / 30,000 / 60,000 / 100,000 / 200,000 USDG, calls convert(), sells the NVDA back: holders get 0.408209 / 0.408187 / 0.408135 / 0.408055 / 0.407973 / 0.407658 NVDA and the attacker loses 0.50 / 2.49 / 7.48 / 14.96 / 24.94 / 49.85 USDG.

Expected and actual agree (no profit); recorded here because the safety margin is not provided by the contract.

#826Audit flowClaude5 findings · 1 high
The review is complete. Nothing outside the scratch test directory and the findings file was touched, and the shipped suite (31 unit tests plus the live fork test) passes as delivered.

Outcome: five findings written to .imd-findings.json, two of them with failing Foundry proofs. The control-flow guarantees around claims, expiry, the 100,000 minimum and the flash-borrow guard held up under tracing. The conversion step is where the stated guarantees break.

High, conversion cap is caller-controlled. maxConvert() reads the IMD/USDG pool's live in-range liquidity in the same transaction as the sale. An attacker pushes the IMD price down, parks 100x just-in-time liquidity at the pushed price, calls convert(), and withdraws. The round sells the entire reserve instead of 0.25% of depth, into the attacker's own position, so they earn the pool fee rather than paying it. The proof sells 515 IMD against a 25 IMD honest cap with a 23.5 IMD profit. Live depth on Robinhood Chain is about 19,756 IMD, so the honest cap is 49 IMD per round and any burst of trading leaves an exposed reserve.

Medium, second hop is unbounded relative to its own pool. The per-stock round is sized only by the IMD/USDG pool. The fixed USDG/NVDA route has a 0.01% fee, so a plain sandwich is profitable whenever the stock pool is not roughly 5x deeper than IMD/USDG. The proof shows holders getting 311 NVDA instead of 483 and the attacker netting 178 USDG. Today's live stock pools are $8M to $170M deep against $198k for IMD/USDG, so this is latent, but the routes are immutable and liquidity is permissionless.

Low, idle is treated as stuck. After any 30 days without a successful conversion, including simply no trades, the first fee arrival lets anyone call releaseStuckReserve in the same block and turn that stock's share into IMD before the route is ever tried. Reproduced in a scratch test.

Low, no fallback for already-bought stock. If a stock token later blocklists the contract as sender, stock already held and owed to holders is frozen indefinitely. The 30-day release only moves unconverted IMD.

Info, Trade event trader. The hook decodes the buyer from hookData only for CompanyRouter, so ETH-router trades are logged as tx.origin.

What I verified as sound. Fee mechanics for all four swap shapes, the before/after delta accounting, solvency across claim, recycle, convert and release, the eligibility and correction math across the 100,000 line, expiry bounds, the flash-borrow guard on every crediting path, and the scanner-sensitive surface (no owner checks, standard allowance path, no balance control).

Coverage note. I ran the Pashov specialty passes as a single reviewer, not as independent agents. Slither and long fuzz runs were not available or run. The proof tests live under contracts/test/scratch/ and are the only new files.

highmaxConvert() reads live in-range liquidity, so the 0.25% round cap is inflatable with just-in-time liquidity and convert() can be sandwiched profitably by its own counterpartycontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:595
AUDIT.md guarantee 4 says one round can never sell more than 0.25% of the IMD/USDG pool's IMD depth, and that this is what makes sandwiching the conversion unprofitable (the sandwicher pays 2 x 0.9% in fees for ~0.5% of price impact). The cap is computed in maxConvert() from PoolManager.getLiquidity(id) and the current sqrtPrice of a hookless, permissionless pool, read in the same transaction as the sale.

Anyone can add liquidity to that pool, so the attacker chooses the cap: with ModifyLiquidity of 100x the pool's liquidity in a narrow range around the current tick, maxConvert() grows ~100x and _convertAll() (line 525: cap = maxConvert()/5) sells every stock's whole pendingConvert in one round.

Because the attacker is also the liquidity, the fee argument inverts: the attacker earns the 0.9% on the protocol's sale instead of paying it, and buys the protocol's IMD at whatever price they pushed the pool to just before. The whole sequence is atomic (swap, add liquidity, token.convert(), remove liquidity are four separate unlocks in one transaction; the isUnlocked() guard only stops conversion inside a foreign unlock) and carries no inventory risk.

Profit is about C^2/depth when the attacker's push equals the reserve C, and grows without bound in the push size once C exceeds ~1.8% of the pool's depth.

Live numbers (read from the Robinhood Chain PoolManager on 2026-10-07): the IMD/USDG pool has 6.26e16 in-range liquidity, i.e. 19,756 IMD (~$198k) of virtual depth, so the honest cap is 49.4 IMD per round; any trade burst leaving more than that waiting (a single $33k buy leaves ~$500 per round unconverted; $230k of volume between rounds puts the reserve above the 1.8% threshold) is exposed.

Holders lose the difference between the pushed price and the fair price on the entire reserve, not on 0.25% of depth. The same technique works on the USDG/stock hop (the attacker as counterparty at a pushed stock price), see the separate finding.

Fix: do not derive the cap from state the caller can change in the same transaction. Options that keep the design: (a) store the depth observed at the end of each round and cap the next round by min(current depth, stored depth) x 0.25%, (b) store the IMD/USDG sqrtPrice at the end of each round and skip (not revert) the round when the current price deviates from it by more than a small bound, (c) add an immutable absolute per-round maximum on top of the depth-based cap.

(b)+(c) together also bound the loss when the pool is pushed without JIT liquidity.
Setup as in test/Company.t.sol: IMD/USDG at 1:1 with 10,000e18 full-range liquidity (honest cap = maxConvert() = 25 IMD per round, 5 per stock), 100 IMD waiting in each stock's reserve, 1 minute since the last round.

Attacker holding IMD and USDG, outside any unlock: (1) sell 500 IMD into IMD/USDG (price -9%); (2) add 1,000,000e18 liquidity in [tick-900, tick+900] -> maxConvert() = 2,650 IMD; (3) call token.convert(): the round sells 515 IMD (every stock's whole reserve) into the attacker's position at the pushed price; (4) remove the liquidity.

Expected: the round sells at most 25 IMD and the sandwich loses money.

Actual: 515 IMD sold, attacker ends with +23.5 IMD-equivalent (IMD+USDG at 1:1) more than before, holders receive stock bought ~9% below the fair price on the whole reserve. forge test --match-path test/scratch/ConvertCapJit.t.sol fails on both assertions.
mediumThe round cap only looks at the IMD/USDG pool; the USDG->stock hop is sized without regard to the stock pool's depth or fee (0.01% on USDG/NVDA), so it is sandwichable whenever a stock pool is not mancontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:559
Each stock's share of a round is maxConvert()/5 = 0.05% of the IMD/USDG pool's IMD depth (line 525) and that USDG amount is then swapped into the stock pool with no minimum output and no cap related to that pool (line 559). The 'sandwiching costs more in fees than it can move the price' argument needs the victim's price impact (about 2 x size / depth) to stay below twice the pool fee.

The fixed routes in script/CompanyConfig.sol have fees of 0.01% (USDG/NVDA), 0.1% (AMC/USDG), 0.25% (USDG/MSTR) and 0.3% (GOOGL, AAPL), so the condition is stockDepth > perStockRound / fee: for NVDA the stock pool must be at least 5x deeper than IMD/USDG, for AMC at least 0.5x, for MSTR 0.2x, for GOOGL/AAPL 0.17x; nothing in the contract checks this and the routes cannot be changed.

On 2026-10-07 the live pools are far deeper than IMD/USDG (NVDA ~$170M, GOOGL ~$9.7M, AAPL ~$10.7M, AMC ~$13M, MSTR ~$8.3M against ~$198k), so the attack is not profitable today; it becomes profitable as soon as IMD/USDG liquidity grows or a stock pool's liquidity leaves (both permissionless), at which point every round of that stock (one per minute while a reserve waits) can be front- and back-run for a large share of the stock holders should receive.

Fix: bound each stock's round by its own pool as well, e.g. min(cap/5, fee_bps/BPS x that pool's virtual USDG depth), and/or skip the stock when the stock pool's price has moved more than a small bound since the previous round (stored sqrtPrice), as for the first hop.
IMD/USDG at 1:1 with 1,000,000e18 liquidity (per-stock round = 500 IMD), USDG/NVDA at 1:1 with the deployed fee tier (fee 100 = 0.01%, spacing 1) and 20,000e18 liquidity, 500 IMD waiting for NVDA.

Attacker with 100,000 USDG: (1) buy NVDA with 5,000 USDG (pool price x1.56); (2) call token.convert(); (3) sell all NVDA back.

Expected (AUDIT.md guarantee 4): the sandwich is unprofitable.

Actual: the round buys 310.8 NVDA for holders instead of ~483.5 (-36%), the attacker ends with +178.6 USDG. forge test --match-path test/scratch/StockHopSandwich.t.sol fails.
lowreleaseStuckReserve treats 'no successful conversion for 30 days' as 'stuck', so an idle stock's reserve can be handed to IMD holders before any conversion was ever attemptedcontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:606
lastConvert[a] is set at deployment (line 219) and only advances on a successful convertStock or a release. It is not touched when a reserve first appears or when conversion is attempted and skipped for lack of a due time.

So after any 30-day window without a successful conversion of stock a (including simply no trades, or no reserve for that stock), the first fee arrival makes releaseStuckReserve(a) succeed immediately for anyone, in the same block as the trade and before claim()/convert() has tried the route. The documented behaviour ('a stock that can't be bought for 30 days') and the test (which first makes the stock token refuse the contract) both assume the route actually failed.

Nobody gains directly, but the 10% stock share promised for that batch is permanently turned into IMD for all holders by a third party, and the window recurs whenever a stock goes 30 days without a conversion.

Fix: measure stuckness from the first failed attempt, e.g. record the time a reserve became non-zero (in distribute()) and require block.timestamp > max(that, lastConvert[a]) + STUCK_PERIOD, or have _convertAll record a lastAttempt per stock and require 30 days of attempts since the reserve appeared.
Deploy and open the pool at T0 (all five stock routes work).

No trade for 31 days.

At T0+31d alice buys 10,000 IMD through CompanyRouter and token.distribute() runs (30 IMD now waits in each stock's reserve).

In the same block, before any claim or convert, bob calls releaseStuckReserve(1).

Expected: revert TooSoon (NVDA is not stuck, it was never attempted).

Actual: returns 30e18, pendingConvert(1) == 0, the 30 IMD is credited as IMD rewards.

Reproduced in test/scratch/IdleRelease.t.sol (passes, i.e. the release goes through).
lowStock already bought and owed to holders has no fallback if the token contract is blocklisted by that stock: the 30-day release covers only the unconverted IMD reservecontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:608
AUDIT.md guarantee 7 says a blocked stock 'can be released to IMD holders' after 30 days. releaseStuckReserve moves only pendingConvert (IMD not yet swapped). Stock that was already bought by earlier rounds sits in the contract as owed[asset].

If the stock token later blocks this contract as a sender (MockStock models blocked[f] exactly like that), every _tryTransfer of that asset fails: claim() keeps it claimable forever, _recycle cannot move it to feeRecipient either, and there is no path that converts or releases it.

With the README's own threat model (Robinhood can block the token contract), the whole already-converted balance of that stock is frozen indefinitely for every holder while continuing to count in owed[].

Fix: add a release path for owed stock that has been unpayable for STUCK_PERIOD (e.g. try selling it back along the route to IMD inside a self-call, and credit the IMD), or document that already-bought stock is unrecoverable after a blocklisting of the contract.
After a successful round, owed[1] = 4.94 NVDA (as in test_convert_buysStockAndCreditsHoldersProRata).

Then the NVDA token blocks address(token) (MockStock.setBlocked(address(token), true)). alice.claim(): NVDA payout fails (PayoutFailed), stays claimable; after 8 days recycle(alice): the NVDA transfer to feeRecipient fails too and is restored. releaseStuckReserve(1) after 30 days only moves pendingConvert(1), owed[1] stays 4.94 NVDA forever.

Expected: a way to redirect unpayable stock after 30 days; actual: none.
infoTrade event attributes CompanyEthRouter trades to tx.origin: the hookData carrying the real buyer is only decoded for CompanyRoutercontracts/src/CompanyHook.sol:317
CompanyEthRouter passes abi.encode(r.user) as hookData on the token-pool swap (CompanyEthRouter.sol lines 135 and 149, comment: 'so the hook credits the right buyer'), but afterSwap only decodes hookData when sender == router. For ethRouter trades the event reports tx.origin, which differs from the user for smart-contract wallets, relayers and batched calls. Event-only; no accounting depends on trader.

Fix: (sender == router || sender == ethRouter) && hookData.length == 32.
A contract wallet W (deployed by EOA E) calls ethRouter.buyWithEth{value: 1 ether}(token, 0, deadline).

Expected: Trade(trader = W).

Actual: Trade(trader = E) because sender == ethRouter is not checked.

#1581Audit mathClaude2 findings · 1 high
Review complete. The findings file is written at .imd-findings.json with two substantiated findings, one carrying a Foundry proof. No source files were changed; the only new files are under contracts/test/scratch/.

Findings

High. The conversion cap is attacker-chosen. maxConvert() in contracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:595 reads the active liquidity of the hookless IMD/USDG pool, which anyone can add and remove within one transaction. An attacker pushes the IMD price down, adds a deep narrow position at the pushed price so the cap covers the entire pending reserve, calls convert(), unwinds, and buys the IMD back. In the project's own test setup the attacker nets 249.5 IMD from a 515 IMD reserve in one atomic transaction. On the fork, the real IMD/USDG pool is a concentrated position that drains completely for about 6,083 IMD, so the round trip costs roughly 90 IMD and the attack pays whenever the five reserves together exceed that. The proof test fails on the current code and passes with a constant per-round cap added to _convertAll.

Low. Fee on IMD-specified swaps uses the requested amount. beforeSwap in contracts/src/CompanyHook.sol:279 computes 4% of amountSpecified, so a partial fill from a price limit or an exact-out sell larger than the pool's IMD pays 11% to 12% of what was actually traded. When the fill delivers less IMD than the fee, the event arithmetic at line 319 underflows and the swap reverts. Only third-party routers reach this path.

Checked and found sound

Solvency across all six assets: every path keeps IMD held at or above owed plus pending, and stock held at or above owed. Rounding in the magnified-per-share accounting is conservative, with the dust left in owed and never re-distributed.

Overflow and downcast bounds on _credit, _reweigh, the uint192 checkpoint, the uint64 timestamp, the toInt128 casts and launch-liquidity math are unreachable at any realistic IMD or stock volume.

Both token/IMD address orderings open the pool, burn the buffer, and trade correctly. The unit suite exercises only one ordering, so this edge is untested in the repository.

Expiry: recent can only be over-estimated and is rounded up, so recycle never moves more than earned-before-the-window, and only to the fee recipient.

The 100,000 minimum, eligibleSupply, and reward preservation when crossing the line hold by construction in _transfer and _reweigh.

Flash-borrow guards, the one-conversion-per-stock-per-block rule, and blocked-stock isolation behave as described.

Second-hop sandwich at the honest cap is unprofitable today: the real stock pools are far deeper than IMD/USDG.

Test runs

Full suite: 31 unit tests pass. The fork test ran against Robinhood Chain at block 26139145.

Fork probes of pool depths were run and then removed; the sandwich proof stays in contracts/test/scratch/ConvertCapInflation.t.sol.

highmaxConvert() reads manipulable active liquidity: just-in-time liquidity inflates the conversion cap and makes sandwiching the reserve profitablecontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:595
The only thing that bounds how much IMD one conversion round sells is maxConvert() = 0.25% of the IMD/USDG pool's virtual depth, computed from getLiquidity(id): the liquidity active at the current tick of a hookless, permissionless pool. Anyone can add a position to that pool and remove it again in the same transaction, so the cap is attacker-chosen.

The design's safety argument (contract notice on MAX_CONVERT_BPS: 'Sandwiching it then costs more in that pool's 0.9% fees than it can move the price') holds only while the round is really limited to 0.25% of the liquidity the attacker trades against. With the cap inflated, a single round sells the entire pendingConvert of all five stocks (1-minute spacing and the self-call isolation do not help: it is one round), and the attacker can sandwich it.

Attack, one transaction, convert() is permissionless: (1) sell IMD into IMD/USDG to push the price down (or straight through the end of the concentrated range); (2) add a deep, narrow position at the pushed price, which makes maxConvert() exceed the whole reserve; (3) call token.convert(): every stock's reserve is sold into the attacker's own position at the pushed price; (4) remove the position; (5) buy the IMD back.

The attacker's cost is the 0.9% fee on each leg of the push; its gain is the reserve bought at the pushed price (plus the 0.9% LP fee on the victim's swap).

Numbers from the attached proof (IMD/USDG full-range 1:1, 10,000 IMD of depth, exactly the project's own test setup): the reserve is 514.95 IMD, the honest cap 25 IMD/round; the attacker sells 10,000 IMD (price -> ~0.25 USDG/IMD), adds 2,000,000e18 of liquidity over 270 ticks, convert() sells all 514.95 IMD in one round, the attacker unwinds and ends 249.54 IMD-equivalent richer (14,970,249.54 vs 14,970,000.00 valued at the pre-attack price); holders' stock reserve of 514.95 IMD became roughly 130 USDG worth of stock.

Without the JIT step the same push would not pay: the round would sell 25 IMD at a 75% discount (18.75 IMD gain) against ~180 IMD of fees. Mainnet state (fork of chain 4663 at block 26139145): the IMD/USDG pool is a concentrated position, not full-range. Its virtual IMD depth is 19,752 IMD (maxConvert = 49.38 IMD = ~$484 per round), but selling 6,083 IMD takes all 38,179 USDG it holds and leaves zero active liquidity (tick -887272).

Exhausting it and buying back costs about 1.8% of ~~6,083 IMD / 38,179 USDG, roughly 90 IMD (~~$880). After that the attacker's own far-away position is the only liquidity, so the conversion sells the entire reserve for dust; the stockOut > 0 check passes with 1 wei of USDG because stocks have 18 decimals.

So whenever the five pendingConvert reserves together exceed ~90 IMD (18 IMD per stock, i.e. about $60k of cumulative trade volume since the last round; the reserve drains only when someone claims or converts) the whole reserve can be taken at a profit, repeatedly. A partial push is also profitable: selling 2,000 IMD moves the price by a factor 1.36 for ~$350 of fees and captures 26.5% of the reserve.
Setup as in contracts/test/Company.t.sol (IMD/USDG full range, 10,000e18 liquidity at 1:1). alice buys 1,000 IMD; bob buys 10 x 3,333 IMD; warp 60 s.

State: sum of pendingConvert[1..5] = 514.95e18, token.maxConvert() = ~25e18.

Attacker (one tx): PoolSwapTest.swap IMD->USDG exact-in 10,000e18 on IMD/USDG; read tick; PoolModifyLiquidityTest.modifyLiquidity(imdUsd, {tickLower = (tick/90)*90-90, tickUpper = lower+270, liquidityDelta = 2_000_000e18}); now token.maxConvert() > 514.95e18; token.convert() -> imd.balanceOf(token) drops by 514.95e18 (all five stocks converted at ~0.25 USDG per IMD); remove the position; swap all USDG gained back to IMD.

Expected: attacker's IMD+USDG (valued 1:1) <= before, and a round sells at most 0.25% of the pool's real depth (25 IMD).

Actual: attacker's IMD+USDG = before + 249.54e18; the round sold 514.95 IMD, 20x the honest cap, at a 75% discount.

Fix (proof passes with it): bound the round by a constant as well, e.g. uint256 public constant MAX_CONVERT_ABS = 50e18; and in _convertAll uint256 cap = maxConvert(); if (cap > MAX_CONVERT_ABS) cap = MAX_CONVERT_ABS; cap = cap / (ASSETS - 1); so a round can never sell more than an amount whose total loss at any price stays below the fee cost of moving the external pool (0.9% x 2 of the real depth).

A minimum-output sanity check against a price the attacker cannot set in the same transaction (e.g. the IMD price implied by the IMD/ETH pool and an ETH/USDG pool, or the realized price of the previous round) would strengthen it; reading liquidity from a previous block alone is not enough on a chain with sub-second blocks.
lowHook fee on IMD-specified swaps is charged on the requested amount, not the delivered one: partial fills overpay up to 3x and can revertcontracts/src/CompanyHook.sol:279
When IMD is the swap's specified currency (exact-in buy, exact-out sell), beforeSwap computes the 4% fee from params.amountSpecified and mints that many claims, and afterSwap just reads it back from FEE_SLOT. Uniswap v4 fills such a swap only up to sqrtPriceLimitX96 (or the end of the liquidity), so when the pool delivers less than requested the user still pays 4% of the full request. The fee is then far above 4% of what was actually traded.

The two IMD-unspecified cases (exact-in sell, exact-out buy) are correct because they use the realized delta. Second effect at line 319 (isBuy ? poolQuote + fee : poolQuote - fee): on an exact-out sell whose partial fill delivers less IMD than the pre-computed fee, poolQuote - fee underflows (panic 0x11) and the whole swap reverts.

CompanyRouter and CompanyEthRouter always use exact-in with MIN/MAX limits so they are unaffected on buys; the issue reaches users of third-party routers (Universal Router exact-out, any integrator that sets a price limit as slippage protection) and any seller whose exact-out request exceeds the IMD the pool holds. Loss is bounded (at most the fee on the unfilled part) and self-limited by the user's own parameters, hence low.
Setup as in contracts/test/Company.t.sol.

Case A, exact-out sell: alice and bob each buy with 100 IMD (pool holds 192 IMD).

Record the sqrtPrice after an exact-out sell of 30 IMD, revert, then alice does PoolSwapTest.swap(key, {zeroForOne = token is currency0, amountSpecified = +90e18, sqrtPriceLimitX96 = that price}).

Expected: fee = 4% of the 31.25 IMD gross actually delivered = 1.25 IMD, alice receives 30 IMD.

Actual: fee = 90e18*400/9600 = 3.75e18 (pendingProtocolFees + pendingHolderFees grow by exactly that), alice receives 27.5e18, i.e. a 12.0% fee on the gross.

Case B, exact-in buy: on a fresh pool record the price after a 30 IMD buy, then buy exact-in 90e18 with that limit.

Expected: 4% of what is paid.

Actual: fee = 3.6e18 on a total payment of 32.4e18 = 11.1%.

Case C: exact-out sell of 50e18 with a limit one millionth past the current price reverts with panic 0x11 inside the hook (poolQuote < fee at line 319).

Fix: in afterSwap derive the fee for the IMD-specified cases from the realized delta too, and since afterSwap cannot return a specified-currency delta, either revert when the realized IMD amount differs from the requested one (clear PartialFill error instead of an overcharge) or take only the realized fee in beforeSwap by clamping the request to the pool's available IMD; and compute the event's quoteAmount without an unchecked subtraction.

Review complete. The findings file holds 9 merged findings, every one reproduced against the code with Foundry, and no project file was changed.

What I did

Built the project, ran the 31 unit tests and the mainnet fork test (all pass, live cap reads 49.39 IMD per round).
Wrote scratch tests in contracts/test/scratch/ reproducing each specialist claim, then merged the 17 specialist entries into 9 findings.
Confirmed the single high finding's proof fails on the current code and passes with a minimal fix (temporary patch, reverted; git status shows only the scratch directory and the findings file).

Judgment calls

The stock-hop sandwich was downgraded from medium to low because it only reproduces with a contrived thin stock pool; live pools are 40x to 800x deeper than needed, so the defect is the missing on-chain bound, not a present loss.
Nothing was dropped: every specialist claim reproduced. No specialist proof files were in the tree, so I wrote my own.

highmaxConvert() reads in-range liquidity at call time: just-in-time liquidity inflates the round cap and makes sandwiching convert() profitablecontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:595
The only bound on how much IMD a conversion round sells is maxConvert(): 0.25% of the IMD/USDG pool's virtual IMD depth, derived from PoolManager.getLiquidity(id), i.e. the liquidity active at the current tick of a hookless, permissionless pool, read in the same transaction as the sale. Anyone can add a narrow position around the current tick with modifyLiquidity and remove it again in the same transaction, so the caller chooses the cap.

AUDIT.md guarantee 4 ('sandwiching costs more in that pool's 0.9% fees than it can move the price') only holds while a round is really limited to 0.25% of the liquidity the attacker trades against. With the cap inflated, one round sells the entire pendingConvert of all five stocks (the 1-minute spacing and the self-call isolation do not help: it is one round), into the attacker's own position at a price the attacker pushed just before.

The attack is one atomic transaction from a contract (swap, add liquidity, token.convert(), remove liquidity, swap back are separate unlocks; the isUnlocked() guard only blocks conversion inside a foreign unlock), carries no inventory risk, and is repeatable every CONVERT_INTERVAL while a reserve waits. Victims are all $COMPANY holders: the stock share of their fees is bought at the pushed price.

On the fork (block ~26139145) the IMD/USDG pool has ~19,752 IMD of virtual depth, so the honest cap is 49.39 IMD per round (read from the fork test); the push-and-buy-back fee cost is ~0.9% x 2 of the push, so the attack pays once the five reserves together exceed roughly 1-2% of the pool's depth (~180 IMD, i.e. about $120k of trade volume since the last round; reserves only drain when someone claims or converts).

Merged from audit_math, audit_permissions, audit_flow and audit_economics (same root cause, same line). Minimal fix that keeps the design: do not let a round be bounded only by state the caller can change in the same transaction.

For example add an immutable absolute per-round ceiling (the attached proof passes with if (cap > 50e18) cap = 50e18; before dividing by five), and/or cap the round by min(current depth, depth recorded at the previous round in an earlier block) and skip the round when the IMD/USDG sqrtPrice has moved more than a small bound since the stored one. Reading liquidity from a previous block alone is not enough on a chain with sub-second blocks.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/ConvertCapJit.t.sol (run from contracts/). Setup identical to test/Company.t.sol: IMD/USDG full-range at 1:1 with 10,000 IMD of virtual depth (honest maxConvert() = 25 IMD). alice buys 1,000 IMD, bob buys 10 x 3,333 IMD through CompanyRouter: 514.95 IMD waits in the five reserves. Warp 60 s. Attacker holding 1,000,000 IMD + 1,000,000 USDG, no $COMPANY:
1. PoolSwapTest exact-in 10,000 IMD -> USDG on IMD/USDG;
2. PoolModifyLiquidityTest adds 2,000,000e18 liquidity over 3 tick spacings around the new tick; maxConvert() now returns 10,004.77 IMD; (3) token.convert(): imd.balanceOf(token) drops by 514.95 IMD (every stock's whole reserve, 20x the honest cap, sold at ~0.25 USDG/IMD); (4) remove the position; (5) swap all USDG gained back to IMD. Expected: the round sells at most 25 IMD and the attacker's IMD+USDG (valued 1:1) after <= before. Actual: the test fails with 'sandwiching the conversion must not be profitable: 2000249.54e18 > 2000000e18' (attacker +249.54 IMD-equivalent after all fees; holders' 514.95 IMD became ~130 USDG worth of stock). With a 50 IMD absolute cap patched into _convertAll the same test passes (round sells 50 IMD, attacker ends -97.5).
lowSecond hop (USDG -> stock) is sized only by the IMD/USDG pool: a stock pool thinner than ~round/fee is sandwichable, and nothing on-chain enforces thatcontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:559
Each stock's share of a round is maxConvert()/5 and its USDG output is swapped into the fixed USDG/stock pool with no minimum output and no cap related to that pool's depth or fee. The 'fees exceed price impact' argument needs stockDepth > perStockRound / fee; for the deployed tiers (USDG/NVDA 0.01%, AMC 0.1%, MSTR 0.25%, GOOGL/AAPL 0.3%) that means the NVDA pool must stay at least ~5x deeper than IMD/USDG.

On the fork the stock pools are $8M-$170M deep against ~$198k for IMD/USDG, so the attack is not profitable today (audit_permissions' fork simulation: a $2k-$200k push loses 0.5-50 USDG); it becomes profitable whenever IMD/USDG liquidity grows or a stock pool's liquidity leaves, both permissionless, and the routes cannot be changed. Merged from audit_flow (medium) and audit_permissions (info); kept as low because the exploit needs third-party liquidity to change first.

Fix: bound each stock's round by its own pool too, e.g. min(cap/5, fee_bps/BPS x that pool's virtual USDG depth), or skip the stock when its pool price moved more than a small bound since the previous round. An absolute per-round ceiling (the fix for the high finding) also bounds this leg.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/StockHop.t.sol (passes, i.e. the sandwich is profitable).

IMD/USDG at 1:1 with 1,000,000e18 liquidity (per-stock round 500 IMD), USDG/NVDA at 1:1 with the deployed tier (fee 100, spacing 1) and 20,000e18 liquidity; alice buys 1,000 IMD, bob 5 x 3,500 IMD: 55.5 IMD waits for NVDA.

Attacker: buy NVDA with 5,000 USDG, call token.convert(), sell the NVDA back.

Expected (AUDIT.md guarantee 4): unprofitable.

Actual: the round buys 35.12 NVDA for holders instead of 54.84 (-36%) and the attacker ends +18.91 USDG.
lowHook fee on IMD-specified swaps is charged on the requested amount: partial fills at a price limit overpay, and an exact-out sell can Panic inside the hookcontracts/src/CompanyHook.sol:279
When IMD is the specified currency (exact-in buy, exact-out sell) beforeSwap computes the fee from params.amountSpecified, charges it and stores it in FEE_SLOT; afterSwap reads it back unchanged. Uniswap v4 fills a swap only up to sqrtPriceLimitX96 (or the end of liquidity) without reverting, so when the pool delivers less than requested the swapper still pays 4%/96% of the full request, far more than 4% of what traded.

The IMD-unspecified cases are correct because afterSwap uses the realised delta. Second effect at line 319: the Trade event computes poolQuote - fee, which underflows (Panic 0x11, surfaced as Wrap__FailedHookCall) when a partially filled exact-out sell delivers less IMD than the pre-computed fee, so the swap fails with an opaque error.

CompanyRouter and CompanyEthRouter use exact-in with extreme limits and are unaffected on buys; third-party routers (Universal Router exact-out, any integrator passing a real price limit) reach it. Loss is bounded by the user's own parameters. Merged from audit_math and audit_permissions.

Fix: in afterSwap compare the provisional fee with 4% of the IMD the pool actually moved and either revert with a clear PartialFill error or charge only the realised fee and credit the difference back; and compute the event's quoteAmount without an unchecked-looking subtraction (e.g. clamp).
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test exactOutSellPartialFill (both pass, demonstrating the behaviour).

Setup as test/Company.t.sol; alice and bob each buy 1,000 IMD (pool holds 1,920 IMD). alice via PoolSwapTest sells $COMPANY exact-out 3,000 IMD (amountSpecified = +3000e18) with sqrtPriceLimitX96 2,000 ticks from the current tick.

Expected: fee = 4% of the IMD actually paid out.

Actual: pendingHolderFees+pendingProtocolFees grow by exactly 125 IMD (3000e18*400/9600) while alice receives 86.74 IMD: 5,903 bps of the gross delivered.

With a limit 40 ticks away the swap reverts with Wrap__FailedHookCall wrapping Panic(0x11) (revert data contains 4e487b71...11) because poolQuote < fee at line 319.
lowAnyone can reset any wallet's 7-day expiry timer for free by moving 1 wei out of the PoolManager with take()contracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:328
A transfer whose from is the PoolManager is treated as a buy and refreshes lastActive[to]. The contract notice and AUDIT.md section 4 assume this costs the buyer the 4% fee.

It does not: inside a plain PoolManager.unlock anyone can take(COMPANY, victim, 1), then sync + transfer(1) + settle from their own balance. No swap, no hook, no fee: the recipient's timer is reset by a stranger for gas.

After the ping expiredRewardsOf(victim) is 0, so recycle() and the strict claim move nothing to feeRecipient; a keeper (or the inactive holder's second wallet) can keep every wallet 'active' forever, voiding the expiry stream that AUDIT.md guarantee 6 describes. Nobody's tokens are at risk. Merged from audit_permissions and audit_economics.

Fix: count a receipt from the PoolManager as activity only when it is part of a swap through this token's pool (e.g. the hook records the buyer in afterSwap in a transient slot the token checks), or drop the from == poolManager rule and rely on msg.sender == to / router delivery; and correct the documented assumption.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test freeTimerReset (passes, demonstrating the behaviour). alice and bob buy 1,000 IMD each; bob sends 1 wei $COMPANY to contract P.

Warp 8 days: expiredRewardsOf(alice, 0) > 0.

P calls poolManager.unlock and in its callback does take(COMPANY, alice, 1); sync(COMPANY); transfer(poolManager, 1); settle().

Expected (per the notice): a stranger cannot refresh alice's timer without paying the 4% buy fee.

Actual: lastActive[alice] == block.timestamp, expiredRewardsOf(alice, 0) == 0, pendingHolderFees and pendingProtocolFees unchanged, recycle(alice) returns 0.
lowreleaseStuckReserve treats an idle stock as stuck: lastConvert is not refreshed when nothing is waiting, so a healthy stock's fresh reserve can be diverted to IMD by anyonecontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:606
lastConvert[a] is set at deployment and advances only on a successful convertStock or a release. _convertAll skips a stock with nothing waiting (if (imdIn == 0) continue;) without touching it, and reserves drain to zero within a few rounds whenever pendingConvert < cap.

After any 30-day window without a successful conversion of stock a (simply no trades, or no reserve), the first fee arrival makes releaseStuckReserve(a) succeed immediately for anyone, in the same block as the trade and before any conversion was attempted. The notice says this path is for 'a stock that can't be bought for 30 days'; here it fires on a stock that converts fine in the same block.

The promised asset mix for that batch is broken at a third party's choice (IMD instead of stock), and it hands a large holder immediately claimable IMD instead of a stream of later rounds. Merged from audit_permissions and audit_flow.

Fix: measure stuckness from failed attempts, e.g. also stamp lastConvert[a] = block.timestamp when a round finds nothing to convert for a, or record when the reserve became non-zero and require STUCK_PERIOD since max(that, lastConvert[a]).
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test releaseHealthyIdleStock (passes, demonstrating the behaviour). alice and bob buy 1,000 IMD each (6 IMD reserved per stock); warp 1 min, convert(); warp 1 min, convert(): all reserves are 0.

Warp 31 days with no trades. carol buys 1,000 IMD: pendingConvert(1) == 3e18; a snapshot shows convert() buys NVDA normally.

Expected: releaseStuckReserve(1) reverts TooSoon.

Actual: it returns 3e18, pendingConvert(1) becomes 0 and owed[0] grows by 3e18.
lowThe stock half of each fee is credited to holders at conversion time, not when the fee was paid, so whoever holds during an attacker-timed convert() takes the accumulated reservecontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:550
distribute() credits the IMD half of a holder fee to the holders of that moment, but the five stock reserves are credited only in convertStock -> distributeStock, pro rata to eligibleSupply at conversion time, which can be minutes to days after the fees were paid and which anyone triggers with the public convert() once per minute.

This contradicts the comment at line 317 ('Rewards stay with whoever held the tokens when they were earned, for every asset'): a holder who sold between fee arrival and conversion gets no stock, and a buyer who arrives after the fees were paid does.

Unlike the accepted 'dividend sniping around large trades' (AUDIT.md section 4), the sniper chooses the moment and the prize is the whole accumulated reserve paid out at maxConvert() per round; with the 4% fee each way it pays whenever reserve >> 8% of the position cost, which at the planned 306 IMD launch market cap is a few hundred IMD of reserve. From audit_economics.

Fix (design choice): keep a per-share index of 'IMD reserved' at distribution time and credit each stock pro rata to that index, or convert on every distributing trade so the timing is not attacker-chosen; otherwise document it next to the accepted sniping limit.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test stockCreditedToHoldersAtConversionTime (passes, demonstrating the behaviour). alice buys 1,000 IMD and is the only eligible holder while bob buys and sells 3,333 IMD ten times (NVDA reserve > 100 IMD, all from fees paid while only alice held). carol then buys 4,000 IMD (19.3% of eligible weight), warp 1 min, carol calls convert().

Expected (per the line-317 comment): the stock bought with those fees is alice's.

Actual: carol is credited 0.955 NVDA and alice 3.983, exactly carol's current weight share of every round.
infoStock already bought and owed to holders has no fallback if the stock token blocklists the token contract: the 30-day release covers only the unconverted IMD reservecontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:608
AUDIT.md guarantee 7 says a stock blocked for 30 days 'can be released to IMD holders'. releaseStuckReserve moves only pendingConvert. Stock bought by earlier rounds sits in owed[asset]; if the stock token later blocks this contract as a sender, every _tryTransfer of that asset fails: claim() keeps it claimable forever, _recycle cannot move it to feeRecipient either, and no path converts or releases it.

The contract cannot move tokens it is blocked from sending, so no in-contract fix exists; the gap is in the stated guarantee. From audit_flow.

Fix: document that already-converted stock is unrecoverable after a blocklisting of the contract (the release only covers the IMD reserve), or hold converted stock in a separate per-stock escrow contract so a blocklisting of one address does not freeze all of it.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test owedStockFrozenWhenTokenBlocked (passes, demonstrating the behaviour). alice and bob buy 1,000 IMD; warp 1 min; convert(): owed[1] = 4.94 NVDA.

MockStock NVDA blocks address(token). alice.claim(): paid[1] == 0 (PayoutFailed).

Warp 8 days, recycle(alice): expired[1] == 0 (refused).

Warp 30 days, releaseStuckReserve(1) moves only the 1 IMD still pending.

Expected: a way to redirect the unpayable stock after 30 days.

Actual: owed[1] stays 4.94 NVDA and the contract still holds it, with no function able to move it.
infoExpired stock rewards are paid to the claimer when the stock token blocks feeRecipientcontracts/src/CompanyToken.sol:504
claim() first runs _recycle(msg.sender); if the stock token refuses the transfer to feeRecipient the expired amount is put back into the holder's withdrawable balance, and the same claim then pays it to the claimer and resets the timer.

The notice says expired rewards 'go to the protocol address'; a feeRecipient that a stock token blocks (plausible given US-person restrictions, and the hook owner can point it anywhere) silently turns strict expiry into no expiry for that stock. No user loses funds. From audit_permissions.

Fix if strictness matters: keep refused expired amounts in a separate per-holder bucket that only a later recycle can move, instead of re-adding them to the claimable balance.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test blockedFeeRecipient_expiredStockGoesToClaimer (passes, demonstrating the behaviour). alice and bob buy 1,000 IMD; warp 1 min; convert(); alice's NVDA = 4.34.

Warp 8 days: expiredRewardsOf(alice, 1) == 4.34.

MockStock NVDA blocks FEE_RECIPIENT. alice.claim().

Expected: paid[1] == 0 (expired, stays for a later recycle).

Actual: paid[0] == 0 (expired IMD went to the fee recipient) but paid[1] >= 4.34 NVDA was paid to alice.
infoTrade event attributes CompanyEthRouter trades to tx.origin: the hookData carrying the real buyer is only decoded for CompanyRoutercontracts/src/CompanyHook.sol:317
CompanyEthRouter passes abi.encode(r.user) as hookData on the token-pool swap ('so the hook credits the right buyer'), but afterSwap decodes hookData only when sender == router. For ethRouter trades the event names tx.origin, which differs from the user for smart-contract wallets, relayers and batched calls; third-party routers' trades are attributed to tx.origin as well. Event-only, no accounting depends on trader.

Note also that tx.origin in the hook is a pattern some scanners flag; it is harmless here. Merged from audit_permissions and audit_flow.

Fix: (sender == router || sender == ethRouter) && hookData.length == 32.
forge test --match-path test/scratch/Leads.t.sol --match-test tradeEventTxOriginForEthRouter (passes, demonstrating the behaviour).

A contract wallet W calls ethRouter.buyWithEth{value: 1 ether}(token, 0, deadline) from a transaction whose tx.origin is alice.

Expected: Trade.trader == W.

Actual: Trade.trader == alice.
