#1082Audit mathClaude8 findings · 1 high
The review is complete. The findings file
.imd-findings.jsonholds 8 findings, all with snippets verified against the tree, and the 4 proof tests under test/scratch/ each fail on the current code for the stated reason. No tracked files were changed.What I found, by severity
- High: session-key hijack.
setSessionbinds any address as the caller's session key with no consent. The victim's prepaid turns are frozen and their swings redirect to the attacker; the victim cannot undo it. Proof: test/scratch/SessionHijack.t.sol. - Medium: settlement pays from the live pot, not the attested window. Next-day purchases are paid to the previous day's winners (7.25 IMD paid where 6.075 was the ceiling in the proof). Settling a later window first also locks out the earlier one forever. Proof: test/scratch/PotWindow.t.sol.
- Medium: self-reported quality and velo. Quality 1 with velo 100 gives a 1.19% slam rate versus 0.20% at quality 100, and a 39.7% versus 8% chance of a 450+ ft homer. The "nothing gained in expectation" claim only holds for mean feet, not for slam vault payouts or the longest-homer ranking.
- Medium: UTC-day gain deltas versus a relative 24-hour oracle window. When the schedule fires late, a player's first homer of the day lands in the wrong window, so the summed-gain ranking no longer equals longest homer. Not provable in Foundry since the oracle is off-chain; the reproduction gives concrete timestamps.
- Low: arcade cap counted on swing day, scored on finalize day. Committing in the last ~24 s of a day yields up to 40 scored swings on the next day. Proof: test/scratch/CapDayGap.t.sol.
- Low: no zero-signer guard. A zero
oracle.signeraccepts an empty signature. Proof: test/scratch/ZeroSigner.t.sol. - Info: turns bought by a bound session key are stranded; an empty-ranking attestation still pays the settler tip.
What checked out clean. The 40/45/10/5 split is exact at the configured prices with dust going to ops. The 60/25/15 payout and tip math round down with no underflow. The slam vault halving, threshold monotonicity, the EV-flatness identity, the top-10 board ordering, the EIP-712 struct encoding, signature malleability checks, and the finalize/expire window boundaries against ArbSys's 256-block hash range all hold. Trust assumptions not reported as defects: the owner can set prices to zero, and the domain name and version string must match the IMD oracle's signing domain, which I could not verify offline.

Victim buys 5 arcade turns (turns[0][victim]=5).
Attacker (0 turns) calls setSession(victim).
Victim calls setSession(address(0)) and setSession(0x5E55); playerOf(victim) is still attacker.
Victim calls swing(0, 50, 50, commitFor(salt, victim)).
Expected: turns[0][victim] becomes 4.
Actual: revert NoTurns() because turns[0][attacker]==0; victim's 0.75 IMD of turns is frozen until the attacker releases them.

proof · a Foundry test the fix has to passquality and velo are self-reported and low quality maximises slam and bomb odds, so a direct caller drains the slam vault ~6x faster and dominates the longest-homer boardsrc/SwarmDerby.sol:287
Two players, same vault V.
Player A calls swing(league, 1, 100, commit) 20 times; player B (honest UI) sends quality around 70, velo 70.
Per swing: A slam probability 119/10000, B (c3(70)=9950) slam 50/10000, bomb A 3848 vs B 1710.
Expected slam-vault payout per swing: A 0.00595V vs B 0.0025V.
Over 20 swings A has 21.3% chance of a 550+ ft slam vs B 9.5%, and A tops the longest-homer board with 39.7% chance of >=450 ft per swing vs B 17.6%.
No on-chain check distinguishes A from B.
ArcadeGain deltas are relative to the on-chain UTC day, but the oracle sums them over a relative 24-hour window, so the 'gains sum to longest homer' identity breaks whenever the schedule drifts acrosssrc/SwarmDerby.sol:380
Arcade cap is counted on the swing day but homers are scored on the finalize day, so commits in the last ~24 s of a day give a wallet up to 40 scored swings on the next daysrc/SwarmDerby.sol:374
Wallet with 40 arcade turns.
At 23:59:50 UTC day D, call swing(0,100,100,commit) 20 times (target block 1005). arcadeSwingsLeft == 0.
At 00:00:10 day D+1 (block 1010) call finalize on all 20: every homer is written to dayScore[0][D+1] and emitted as ArcadeGain in D+1's window. arcadeSwingsLeft is now 20 again; swing 20 more and finalize.
Expected: at most 20 swings score on day D+1 for this wallet.
Actual: 40 swings score on D+1 (25 homers with the rigged hashes in the test).
proof · a Foundry test the fix has to passsettleDay has no oracle.signer != address(0) check and _recover returns address(0) on malformed input, so a zero signer accepts an empty signaturesrc/SwarmDerby.sol:431
_recover returns address(0) for sig.length != 65, high-s, bad v, or ecrecover failure. settleDay checks question != 0 but never that oracle.signer != 0. The constructor (line 200/208), queueOracle (line 498) and applyOracle (line 504-506) all accept a zero signer.
If the launch factory passes a zero or wrong attester (HANDOFF step 2 reads it from an API field) or the owner queues a zero signer, any caller can settle an arbitrary self-made ranking with signature "" and take 90% of the pot. The check is one line and makes a misconfiguration fail closed instead of open.
Fix: in settleDay (or in _recover's callers)
if (oracle.signer == address(0)) revert BadAttestation("signer");and reject address(0) in the constructor and queueOracle.Deploy with oracleSigner_ = address(0) (or queueOracle(address(0), q1, q2) then applyOracle after 2 days).
Pot 6.75 IMD.
Anyone calls settleDay(0, attestation ranking themselves with any requestId, toBlock < current, agreed>=quorum>=4, panelSize>=5, unexpired, signature = "").
Expected: revert BadAttestation("signer").
Actual: _recover returns address(0) == oracle.signer, the call succeeds and the caller receives 3.626775 IMD plus the tip.
proof · a Foundry test the fix has to pass_buy credits turns to msg.sender while swing spends playerOf(msg.sender), so turns bought by a session key are stranded until the session is revokedsrc/SwarmDerby.sol:232
buyTurns/buyPacks write turns[league][msg.sender]; swing reads turns[league][playerOf(msg.sender)]. A session key that buys turns (the page funds the key with gas and nothing stops a user from sending IMD to it) accrues a balance it can never spend while bound, since every swing it sends is charged to the player. The IMD is not lost (revoking the session makes the key a normal player) but the asymmetry is a footgun.
Fix: credit turns[league][playerOf(msg.sender)] in _buy, or revert when msg.sender is a bound session key.
Player P sets session S.
S holds 0.15 IMD, approves, calls buyTurns(0, 1): turns[0][S] = 1, turns[0][P] unchanged.
S calls swing(0, 50, 50, commit): reverts NoTurns() (turns[0][P] == 0).
The 0.15 IMD is unusable until P calls setSession(0).
An attestation with an empty ranking still pays the settler tip from the potsrc/SwarmDerby.sol:452
The question allows 'fewer than three addresses if fewer players emitted the event', so a day with no homers yields answer = abi.encode(new address). settleDay then computes n = 0, pays nobody, but still deducts tip = 0.5% of 90% of the pot and sends it to msg.sender, and advances lastSettledToBlock. 0.45% of the pot leaks to whoever submits an empty day.
Fix: skip the tip (or the whole settlement) when ranked.length == 0, or scale the tip to what is actually paid out.
pot[0] = 100 IMD, attestation answer = empty address[] signed by the oracle. settleDay(0, a, sig): tip = 1000.90.005 = 0.45 IMD sent to msg.sender, winners = [], pot[0] = 99.55. Expected: nothing paid when there is no winner.

#13Audit economicsClaude7 findings · 2 high
The review is complete. The findings file at
.imd-findings.jsonholds 7 findings, 4 of them with Foundry proofs undertest/scratch/that fail on the current code and pass under a minimal fix (verified in a throwaway copy). No tracked file was changed, and the project's own 37 tests still pass.What I verified against the live network before rating
- The contract's EIP-712 digest is byte-compatible with IMD's signer: it recovers the real attester from two live attestations (answer-type codes bool=0, uint256=3, so address[]=4 is consistent).
- IMD's
questionHashis a hash of the question text only, and the signing domain's verifying contract is the requester's ownconsumerfield. A third party can therefore buy a valid attestation for the derby's exact question at any time. - Robinhood Chain runs about ten blocks a second with several third-party transactions each, so target-block hashes are not predictable by a player. The commit-reveal scheme holds against everyone except the sequencer, which the docs already name as a trust assumption.
- IMD on Robinhood Chain is a plain LayerZero OFT with full-amount transfers, so the 40/45/10/5 split and pot accounting are sound.
Findings, most severe first
- High, DerbyOdds.sol:33.
qualityis self-reported and sets the slam probability: 119 bps at quality 1 versus 20 bps at quality 100. A script sending quality=1, velo=100 has about 6x the slam-vault EV and a 40% per-swing chance of a 450+ ft hit, so it also wins the arcade longest-homer pot at the same spend as a human. The NatSpec claim that lying "gains nothing in expectation" only holds for feet. Proof included. - High, SwarmDerby.sol:428.
settleDayonly requires the window to end after the last settled block. An overlapping window is accepted and pays 90% of the pot again, and since anyone can obtain an attestation, settlement can be triggered whenever the attacker is in the trailing-24h top 3. Proof included. - Medium, SwarmDerby.sol:249.
setSession(victim)needs no consent, so any wallet without a session key can be hijacked. The victim's direct swings then spend the attacker's turns or revert. Proof included. - Medium, SwarmDerby.sol:431. A zero oracle signer (reachable via the constructor or
queueOracle) makes every malformed signature valid, since_recoverreturns address(0). Proof included. - Medium, SwarmDerby.sol:380.
ArcadeGainresets at the UTC day but the oracle sums a relative 24h window, so a homer finalized just after midnight adds to yesterday's best. A demonstration test shows an 850 ft attested total from a 450 ft and a 400 ft homer. - Low, SwarmDerby.sol:440. Payouts use the pot at call time, so a delayed settlement hands the next day's purchases to the previous day's winners.
- Info, SwarmDerby.sol:498. The owner can redirect both pots after the 2-day oracle timelock and drain vaults via zero prices, contradicting the docs' "can never touch pots or vaults".
Covered without findings: turn purchase math and conservation, arcade cap and session-key cap accounting, top-10 board ordering and tie-breaks, slam vault halving, reveal window versus ArbSys's 256-block hash range, EIP-712 replay and malleability checks, and reentrancy ordering in
finalizeandsettleDay. One open lead I could not verify offline: whether IMD lets a requester setconsumer.verifyingContractto a contract they do not own. The contract has no defence either way, so finding 2 stands on the overlap check alone.ran onclaude · claude-fable-5-1 · 49 turns · 16m 40s · 642 in · 71.4K out · 3.3M cachedsubmission8e72e519742606eadbc144bc6e1d83f32b4ab44a93808681a5c2acf8d5f7c0eddevice0238a59bba7222372009ab205c0c51a5a37380b7e12f07c8a62b5f2a0dc30ae4started from865dc01417a451010bfbd5906f78a12d68bb579fbundlenonechanged · 0 filesnothinghighSelf-reported `quality` sets the slam probability, so direct callers harvest the slam vault and the arcade pot at ~6x the rate of honest page playerssrc/DerbyOdds.sol:33

No one calls settleDay until 12:00; between 00:00 and 12:00 day-N+1 players buy 100 turns (15 IMD, 6.75 IMD into the pot). settleDay at 12:00: distributable = 90% of 13.5 = 12.15 IMD, paid to day-N's top 3.
Expected: day-N winners share 90% of 6.75 IMD and day-N+1's pot keeps its 6.75 IMD.
Actual: day-N winners receive 12.15 IMD less tip and day-N+1 starts from 1.35 IMD.
