Spot this bug, and you might become a Sherlock Lead Senior Watson (LSW) one day. The winner will be picked in 24 hours. This code is a simplified version of an actual vulnerability found in a Sherlock contest. Hint: Look closely at the disableMaxLock function, consider all…

Uninitialized Storage Pointers/ Uninitialized State Bugs Explained In Solidity, data storage is categorized into three main types: storage, memory, and calldata, each serving distinct purposes within smart contracts. Storage variables are part of the contract's persistent state…

Inheritance in Smart Contracts This concept, borrowed from object-oriented programming, enables code reusability and modular design. By inheriting from a parent contract, a child contract can access and utilize its state variables, functions, and modifiers. Solidity supports…

No delegatecall: Preventing unwanted delegatecalls When delegatecall is used in a contract, it executes code in the context of another contract. This means the code runs in the context of the calling contract (using its storage, balance, and address), but the actual code to…
