Overview

vyper is a Pythonic Smart Contract Language for the EVM.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to the use of slice builtin can result in a double eval vulnerability when the buffer argument is either msg.data, self.code or

.code and either the start or length arguments have side-effects.

PoC


l: DynArray[uint256, 10]

@external
def foo(cs: String[64]) -> uint256:
    for i in range(10):
        self.l.append(1)
    assert len(self.l) == 10
    s: Bytes[64] = b""
    s = slice(msg.data, self.l.pop(), 3)
    assert len(self.l) == 10 - 2
    return len(self.l)
