Something isn't working
QA (Quality Assurance)
Assets are not at risk. State handling, function incorrect as to spec, issues with clarity, syntax
Require with empty message
The following requires are with empty messages.
This is very important to add a message for any require. So the user has enough information to know the reason of failure.
Code instance:
Not verified input
external / public functions parameters should be validated to make sure the address is not 0.
Otherwise if not given the right input it can mistakenly lead to loss of user funds.
Code instances:
Solidity compiler versions mismatch
The project is compiled with different versions of solidity, which is not recommended because it can lead to undefined behaviors.
Code instance:
Use safe math for solidity version <8
You should use safe math for solidity version <8 since there is no default over/under flow check it suchversions of solidity.
Code instances:
Init frontrun
Most contracts use an init pattern (instead of a constructor) to initialize contract parameters. Unless these are enforced to be atomic with contact deployment via deployment script or factory contracts, they are susceptible to front-running race conditions where an attacker/griefer can front-run (cannot access control because admin roles are not initialized) to initially with their own (malicious) parameters upon detecting (if an event is emitted) which the contract deployer has to redeploy wasting gas and risking other transactions from interacting with the attacker-initialized contract.
Many init functions do not have an explicit event emission which makes monitoring such scenarios harder. All of them have re-init checks; while many are explicit some (those in auction contracts) have implicit reinit checks in initAccessControls() which is better if converted to an explicit check in the main init function itself.

The vulnerable initialization functions in the codebase are:
Code instance:
Assert instead require to validate user inputs
Code instances:
In the following public update functions no value is returned
In the following functions no value is returned, due to which by default value of return will be 0.
We assumed that after the update you return the latest new value.
(similar issue here: code-423n4/2021-10-badgerdao-findings#85).
Code instance:
Never used parameters
Those are functions and parameters pairs that the function doesn't use the parameter. In case those functions are external/public this is even worst since the user is required to put value that never used and can misslead him and waste its time.
Code instances:
Check transfer receiver is not 0 to avoid burned money
Transferring tokens to the zero address is usually prohibited to accidentally avoid "burning" tokens by sending them to an unrecoverable zero address.

Code instances:
Two arrays length mismatch
The functions below fail to perform input validation on arrays to verify the lengths match.
A mismatch could lead to an exception or undefined behavior.
Consider making this a medium risk please.
Code instances
Not owner function calls an owner function
Code instance:
Div by 0
Division by 0 can lead to accidentally revert,
(An example of a similar issue - code-423n4/2021-10-defiprotocol-findings#84)
Code instances:
Tokens with fee on transfer are not supported
There are ERC20 tokens that charge fee for every transfer() / transferFrom().
Vault.sol#addValue() assumes that the received amount is the same as the transfer amount,
and uses it to calculate attributions, balance amounts, etc.
But, the actual transferred amount can be lower for those tokens.
Therefore it's recommended to use the balance change before and after the transfer instead of the amount.
This way you also support the tokens with transfer fee - that are popular.
Code instances:
transfer return value of a general ERC20 is ignored
Need to use safeTransfer instead of transfer. As there are popular tokens, such as USDT that transfer/trasnferFrom method doesn’t return anything. The transfer return value has to be checked (as there are some other tokens that returns false instead revert), that means you must
Another popular possibility is to add a whiteList.
Those are the appearances (solidity file, line number, actual line):
