Findings

Issue #1 | Owner Capabilities| 🟠 Medium | lock, unlock | Fixed ✅

The contract uses a modified version of Ownable contract. These modifications have a significant flaw — a malicious owner can get his owner capabilities even after calling renounceOwnership!

Here’s a list of the required steps:

1️⃣ The owner of the contract can call lock() to lock the contract (the lock function saves the previous owner into a variable)

2️⃣ After the locking period has passed the owner of the contract can call unlock() and regain the ownership.

3️⃣ The owner of the contract can then call the renounceOwnership function. Now, the contract allegedly has no owner (users can verify it by looking for the renounceOwnership transaction and making sure that the owner is set to the zero address).

4️⃣ The owner of the contract can call the unlock function again, and get the ownership back.

Recommendation

Remove lock and unlock functions.

Issue #2 | Logical Issue | 🟢 Informational| claimBNBReward | ✅ Fixed

Description

require(balanceOf(msg.sender) >= 0, ‘Error: must own MKAT to claim reward’);

The condition will always be True.

Recommendation

Change the condition to:

require(balanceOf(msg.sender) > 0, ‘Error: must own MKAT to claim reward’);

Issue #3 | Logical Issue| 🟡 Low | ✅ Fixed

Description

_isExcludedFromMaxTx is not used in the contract.

Recommendation

Remove this variable or properly use it ( In ensureMaxTxAmount function).

Issue #4 | Logical Issue | 🟡 Low | swapAndLiquify | ✅ Fixed

Description

swapAndLiquify feature cannot be toggled off.

Recommendation

SwapAndLiquify takes place only on sell transactions. There is a chance that the contract would accrue a significant amount of tokens and a malicious user could execute many small sell txs and cause a large dump in price. The consequence is a pretty significant price drop because of the large number of tokens that would enter the pool. The team should be aware of this issue.

Recommendation

Create an emergency function that would toggle off the swapAndLiquify feature or limit the rate of the buybacks.

Issue #6 | Owner Capabilities | 🔴 High | 🔍 addLiquidity | ✅ Fixed

Description

The recipient of the newly created LP tokens is the LiquidityReciever. The newly created LP tokens are unlocked.

1Utils.addLiquidity(address(pancakeRouter), owner(), otherPiece, bnbToBeAddedToLiquidity);

Recommendation

Change the recipient of the newly created LP tokens to the contract in order to ensure that the LP tokens are locked.

Summary

No issues were found.
