How to fix?

Upgrade vyper to version 0.4.0 or higher.

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 build_IR function of the RawLog class failing to properly unwrap the variables provided as topics. Consequently, incorrect values can be logged which may result in unexpected behavior in client-side applications relying on these logs.
