Out of scope

Program's Out of Scope information
  • Attacks found in an underlying Cosmos SDK standard module dependency (vulnerabilities found in code that is not Mars Protocols code, but Mars Protocol has a dependency on through Cosmos SDK)
  • Best practice critiques
  • Lack of funding for contracts that require topping up from an external address e.g.contracts pertaining to incentives e.t.c. (where applicable)
  • DoS related attacks

  • 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
