The emergencyRewardWithdraw function allows the owner to withdraw any amount of reward tokens without restriction, potentially draining all rewards and leaving stakers with nothing. This lack of control creates a high risk of fund misappropriation. To mitigate this, the function should limit withdrawals to only excess rewards beyond what is owed to users. Implementing a balance check before transferring funds and requiring a timelock (e.g., 48 hours) can prevent sudden fund drainage. Additionally, adding governance approval or multi-signature authorization enhances security, ensuring that no single entity can arbitrarily withdraw rewards at the expense of stakers.

The emergencyRemoval function allows the owner to withdraw staked tokens if isRemovable is true, which can lead to fund theft and loss of all user deposits. The owner can drain liquidity without restriction, making this a high-risk function. To fix this, limit withdrawals to excess funds, enforce governance approval, add a timelock, and emit events for transparency. Without these fixes, users risk losing all their staked assets to a malicious or compromised owner.

The stopReward function allows the owner to halt reward distribution at any time by setting bonusEndBlock to the current block. This centralization risk enables the owner to stop rewards prematurely, preventing stakers from earning their expected rewards. Additionally, it lacks an event log for transparency, and unclaimed rewards may become inaccessible. To mitigate this, introduce a minimum duration before stopping rewards, emit an event for visibility, and ensure users can still claim their earned rewards after the stop. Implementing timelocks or governance approval can further prevent misuse and ensure fair reward distribution for stakers.

The updateUnstakingFee function allows the owner to set unstaking fees to any value, including 100%, effectively stealing user funds. This lack of restriction poses a serious risk. To fix this, a maximum limit (e.g., 5%) should be enforced, an event should be emitted for transparency, and governance approval should be required for fee changes. These measures will protect users from unfair fee manipulation and ensure a fair unstaking process.

The updatePoolLimitPerUser function allows the owner to arbitrarily modify or remove staking limits, creating a centralization risk. The owner can reduce the limit, preventing fair participation, or remove it entirely, enabling large stakers to monopolize rewards. This manipulation can favor select users and disadvantage the broader community. To mitigate this, enforce minimum and maximum limits, introduce a timelock for changes, and require multi-signature approval or governance voting for significant updates. Additionally, emitting an event for every limit change enhances transparency, ensuring users are informed and preventing unfair alterations that could harm the staking ecosystem.

The updatePoolCap function gives the owner complete control over staking limits, allowing unlimited staking for large players or blocking new participants. This centralized control creates unfair conditions. To mitigate this, minimum and maximum caps should be enforced, abrupt reductions should be prevented, and timelocks or governance approval should be required for major changes. Event emissions also enhance transparency, ensuring all participants are informed about cap modifications.

The updateRewardPerBlock function allows the owner to set rewards to zero, effectively stopping payouts to stakers without warning. This centralized control can cheat users who have already staked. To fix this, enforce minimum rewards, require a time-lock for changes, and use multi-signature or governance approval to prevent abuse. Transparent event logging ensures users are aware of reward modifications before they take effect.

The updateStartAndEndBlocks function allows the owner to modify staking and reward periods mid-staking, creating unfair conditions for users. The owner can extend rewards indefinitely, end them abruptly, or reset reward calculations, reducing expected payouts. This lack of restriction disrupts staking expectations and trust. To mitigate this, enforce a restriction on mid-staking changes, introduce a time-lock for updates, and require multi-signature or governance approval for major modifications.

The contract lacks a validation check to ensure that specific parameters are contract addresses. Without this check, there is a risk that non-contract addresses (such as externally owned accounts, or EOAs) could be mistakenly set for parameters intended to reference other contracts. This could lead to failures in executing critical interactions within the contract, as EOAs do not support contract-specific functions. To mitigate this, Implement a validation check to ensure that parameters designated as contract addresses are verified as such. This can be done using Solidity’s Address library function isContract, which checks if an address has associated contract code.

The addRewardToken and removeRewardToken functions allow the owner to change reward tokens mid-staking, leading to unfair conditions. The owner can remove a reward token before users claim rewards, causing loss of expected earnings, or add a new reward token, diluting rewards for existing stakers. To fix this, prevent removal if rewards are unclaimed, introduce a timelock, use governance approval, and emit notification events to protect users from unexpected changes that impact deposits and withdrawals.

The deposit function uses transferFrom without checking the allowance, causing unexpected transaction failures if users haven’t approved the contract to spend their tokens. This leads to wasted gas fees, poor user experience, and confusion. To mitigate this, check the user’s allowance before calling transferFrom, ensuring they have approved enough tokens. Using SafeERC20 for transfers prevents potential issues and improves error handling. Additionally, implementing an event log or UI guidance can inform users about approval requirements, ensuring a smoother deposit process. These measures will reduce failed transactions, save gas, and enhance usability for staking participants.
