On the Necessity of Pre-Agreed Secrets for Thwarting Last-Minute Coercion: Vulnerabilities and Lessons from the Loki E-Voting Protocol

Coercion-resistance CR is a crucial security property in e-voting systems. It ensures that an attacker cannot compel a voter to vote in a specific way by using threats or rewards. The Loki e-voting protocol, proposed by Giustolisi \emphet al. at IEEE S&P 2024, introduces a novel design that...

Malicious user can drastically boost their voting power by increase a dust amount in lock

Lines of code Vulnerability details Impact A user's weight on a gauge weight voting by design decay with time. However, a user can simply bypass the decay by increasing a dust amount in their lock in VotingEscrow.sol. I think this is high severity due to easy and cheap manipulation. Proof of...
