How to fix?

Upgrade vyper to version 0.3.2 or higher.

Overview

vyper is a Pythonic Smart Contract Language for the EVM.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Comparison where bytestrings can have dirty bytes in them, resulting in the word-for-word comparisons giving incorrect results. Even without dirty nonzero bytes, two bytestrings can compare to equal if one ends with "\x00" because there is no comparison of the length.
