What Is Policy-as-Code

Decoding the Enigma: Policy-as-Code Explained The Information Technology IT sector can often feel like a maze of intricate jargon and theories. A phrase gaining traction in this field is Policy-as-Code PaC. However, what does Policy-as-Code entail? Let's demystify this enigma. Policy-as-Code...

Security Bulletin: IBM DB2 used by IBM Security Verify Governance has multiple vulnerabilities

Summary IBM Security Verify Governance supports IBM DB2 database. Information about security vulnerabilities affecting IBM DB2 has been published in security bulletins. Vulnerability Details CVEID:CVE-2023-29257 DESCRIPTION: IBM Db2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows includes Db2 Connect Server 10.5,...

Changing the quorumNumerator should not be only possible by the governance

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact Only the DAO can reduce the quorumNumerator. This means that if the participation for proposals in the DAO decreases below the quorumNumerator, there is no way to reduce the quorumNumerator so the DAO can start making decisions again. Proof of Concept Fo...

Miscalculation of OLAS Amount Due to Inaccurate LP Token Price in Specific Bonding Mechanism Scenarios

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact Incorrect valuation of the LP Token price can result in either an excess issuance of OLAS Tokens, causing a loss to the protocol, or a lower issuance of OLAS Tokens, leading to losses for the user. Proof of Concept The prototype of the create function in...

Pausing the GuardCM does not work because the governorCheckProposalId is never set

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact Since the governorCheckProposalId of the proposal to check the activity of the governance is never set in GuardCM, the CM can never pause GuardCM, even if the governance is inactive. This will result in a stagnation of the protocol since no significant...

Reliance on unknown governorCheckProposalId is a potential backdoor and risks loss of critical function control

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact The GuardCM contract is designed to restrict the actions of the Community Multisig CM. However, a potential backdoor could allow the CM to bypass these restrictions and gain unrestricted access. The issue arises from the reliance on a specific proposal I...

changeRegistries() from the Tokenomics contract changes different registries at the same time.

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact In a case where either one of the agent, component or service registry are deprecated, attempting to replace the compromised registry necessitates an overall replacement of all the other registries. This not only utilizes excess gas but can also bring...

The Treasury.sol contract changes the address for the different manager contract in one function call.

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact In a case where either one of the manager addresses the tokenomics, depositiory or dispenser contracts are compromised or deprecated, attempting to replace the compromised manager contract address necessitates an overall replacement of all the other...

GovernorOLAS is susceptible to DOS via proposal frontrunning

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact The GovernorOLAS contract inherits from OpenZeppelin's GovernorCompatibilityBravo v4.8.3, which has a known vulnerability in the proposal creation process that can be exploited to halt proposals sent to the governor. The root cause of this vulnerability ...

When unpausing the GuardCM, not setting governorCheckProposalId to 0 puts the assets of the protocol at risk

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact If the GuardCM was paused once, the community multisig CM can pause it again without checking for the governances activity. This moves the power within the system from the governance to the CM and can, in the worst case, result in the lose of all funds o...

veOLAS.sol : PointVoting's slope and bias values are reset to zero when depositing for another account.

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact Since the bias vote weight and slope are reset, the voting power of as user is nullified. Proof of Concept veOLAS.sol is escrow based contract where the OLAs tokens are locked for certain amount of time in order to gain the voting power. This voting powe...

CM can exploit a pause in GuardCM to gain permanent unrestricted access

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact The GuardCM contract is designed to restrict the Community Multisig CM actions within the protocol to only specific contracts and methods. Under specific circumstances, the protocol allows the guard to be paused, which temporarily pauses the guard and...
