Vulnerability details
Impact
For Exchange. and Pool, which are upgradeable contracts, inheriting contracts may introduce new variables. In order to be able to add new variables to the upgradeable contract without causing storage collisions, a storage gap should be added to the upgradeable contract.
If no storage gap is added, when the upgradable contract introduces new variables, it may override the variables in the inheriting contract..

Recommended Mitigation Steps
Consider adding a storage gap at the end of the upgradeable abstract contract
uint256[50] private __gap;
