Introduction

We express our gratitude to the Octopus Bridge team for the collaborative engagement that enabled the execution of this Smart Contract Security Assessment.

The Bridge contract is designed to facilitate cross-network token transfers. It provides mechanisms for depositing tokens on one chain and withdrawing them on another, leveraging the security features of the Solidity language and OpenZeppelin's smart contract standards.

    System Overview

    The Bridge contract is designed to facilitate cross-network token transfers. It provides mechanisms for depositing tokens on one chain and withdrawing them on another, leveraging the security features of the Solidity language and OpenZeppelin's smart contract standards.

    Contracts

    1. Bridge.sol:

      • Inherits: AccessControl, ReentrancyGuard

      • Purpose: Manages the cross-chain transfer of tokens using deposit and withdrawal functions.

    Privileged Roles

    • Admin Role:

      • Capabilities: Can grant and revoke the KEEPER_ROLE, add pools of tokens, and withdraw tokens from pools.

      • Assigned to: The admin address provided at contract initialization.

    • Keeper Role:

      • Capabilities: Can process withdrawals initiated by users and verify deposit signatures.

      • Granted By: Admin role, which also sets the role's administration to itself.

    Executive Summary

    Documentation quality

    The total Documentation quality score is 10 out of 10.

    • Functional requirements are provided.

    • Technical description is provided.

    Code quality

    The total Code quality score is 10 out of 10.

    • Best practices are applied.

    Test coverage

    Code coverage of the project is 31.82 %(branch coverage)

    • Not all branches are covered with tests.

    Security score

    Upon auditing, the code was found to contain 1 critical, 0 high, 2 medium, and 0 low severity issues. Out of these, 3 issues have been addressed and resolved, leading to a security score of 10 out of 10.

    All identified issues are detailed in the “Findings” section of this report.

    Summary

    The comprehensive audit of the customer's smart contract yields an overall score of 10. This score reflects the combined evaluation of documentation, code quality, test coverage, and security aspects of the project.

    Risks

    Single Points of Failure and Control: The project is fully or partially centralized, introducing single points of failure and control. This centralization can lead to vulnerabilities in decision-making and operational processes, making the system more susceptible to targeted attacks or manipulation.

    Administrative Key Control Risks: The digital contract architecture relies on administrative keys for critical operations. Centralized control over these keys presents a significant security risk, as compromise or misuse can lead to unauthorized actions or loss of funds.

    Missing Test Cases: The contract does not have enough proper unit test cases.

    Identify vulnerabilities in your smart contracts.

    Appendix 1. Severity Definitions

    When auditing smart contracts, Hacken is using a risk-based approach that considers Likelihood, Impact, Exploitability and Complexity metrics to evaluate findings and score severities.

    Reference on how risk scoring is done is available through the repository in our Github organization:

    Severity

    Description

    Critical
    Critical vulnerabilities are usually straightforward to exploit and can lead to the loss of user funds or contract state manipulation.

    High
    High vulnerabilities are usually harder to exploit, requiring specific conditions, or have a more limited scope, but can still lead to the loss of user funds or contract state manipulation.

    Medium
    Medium vulnerabilities are usually limited to state manipulations and, in most cases, cannot lead to asset loss. Contradictions and requirements violations. Major deviations from best practices are also in this category.

    Low
    Major deviations from best practices or major Gas inefficiency. These issues will not have a significant impact on code execution, do not affect security score but can affect code quality score.
