ERC4626: Sweep residual assets on final withdraw to avoid stranded funds

Open viktorking7 opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

Description

Prevents stranded assets when totalSupply == 0 by sweeping any residual underlying tokens to the current receiver on the last withdraw, and reflecting the swept amount in the Withdraw event.

Direct donations or rounding can leave non-zero totalAssets with zero shares, causing future deposits to mint 0 shares and making assets effectively stuck.

Walkthrough

The ERC4626 contract's _withdraw method was modified to handle residual asset balances. After burning shares and transferring assets, the implementation now sweeps any remaining asset balance to the receiver when the vault is emptied (when totalSupply() equals zero). The total amount swept is added to withdrawnAssets, and the Withdraw event emission was updated to report withdrawnAssets instead of the original assets parameter to accurately reflect the total amount transferred, including swept residuals. The deposit path remains unchanged.

298-308: Great dust-sweep addition

Sweeping the leftover balance once the last shares are burned cleanly fixes the stranded-asset edge case without widening the reentrancy surface, and updating the event to report the actual amount withdrawn keeps downstream accounting intact. Nicely done.

I'm worried this would possibly be used by an attacker to extract value that is supposed to be burned.

This change give access to all the rounding error that accumulate through the life of the contract. It also allows recovering the the part of donations that is lost to the offset, possibly negating the effectiveness of the protection.
