Impacts in Scope

Impacts Body

Repeatable attack limitations

If the smart contract where the vulnerability exists can be upgraded or paused, only the initial attack will be considered for a reward.

The amount of funds at risk will be calculated with the impact of the first attack being at 100% and then a reduction of 100% from the amount of the first attack for every 24 hours the attack needs for subsequent attacks from the first attack, rounded down.

Out of scope

Program's Out of Scope information
  • Best practice critiques

    • Oracle failure/manipulation
    • Consensus failure
  • Client usability bugs not effecting theft of user value or keys

Default Out of Scope and rules

Smart Contract specific

  • Incorrect data supplied by third party oracles
    • Not to exclude oracle manipulation/flash loan attacks
  • Impacts requiring basic economic and governance attacks (e.g. 51% attack)
  • Lack of liquidity impacts
  • Impacts from Sybil attacks
  • Impacts involving centralization risks

All categories

  • Impacts requiring attacks that the reporter has already exploited themselves, leading to damage
  • Impacts caused by attacks requiring access to leaked keys/credentials
  • Impacts caused by attacks requiring access to privileged addresses (including, but not limited to: governance and strategist contracts) without additional modifications to the privileges attributed
  • Impacts relying on attacks involving the depegging of an external stablecoin where the attacker does not directly cause the depegging due to a bug in code
  • Mentions of secrets, access tokens, API keys, private keys, etc. in Github will be considered out of scope without proof that they are in-use in production
  • Best practice recommendations
  • Feature requests
  • Impacts on test files and configuration files unless stated otherwise in the bug bounty program
  • Impacts requiring phishing or other social engineering attacks against project's employees and/or customers
