smart contract vulnerabilities


tl; dr

  • tx.origin needs to bere placed by msg.sender, otherwise any contract you call can act on your behalf.
  • inline assembly should be used only in rare cases.
  • unclear semantics: now is alias for block.timestamp not current time; use of low level call, callcode, delegatecall should be avoided whenever possible; use transfer whenever failure of ether transfer should rollnack the whole transaction.
  • beware of caller contracts: selfdestruct can block calling contracts unexpectedly.
  • invocation of local functions via this: never use this to call functions in the same contract, it only consumes more gas than normal call.
  • transferring Ether in a for/while/do-while loop should be avoid due to the block gas limit.
  • erc20 decimals should have uint8 as return type.
