Vulnerability Details

The Bug

function cancel(uint256 _len) external onlyRole(MAINTAINER_ROLE) { while (_len > 0) { bytes memory data = _redemptionQueue.popFront(); (address sender, address receiver, uint256 usdoAmt, bytes32 prevId) = _decodeData(data);

    totalUsdo += usdoAmt;
    _redemptionInfo[receiver] -= usdoAmt;
    
    // Tries to mint back - can FAIL if supply cap reached
    _safeMintInternal(sender, usdoAmt);  //  Can revert
    
    _len--;
}

}

function _safeMintInternal(address to, uint256 amt) internal { if (_usdo.totalSupply() + amt > _totalSupplyCap) revert TotalSupplyCapExceeded(); // Blocks restoration

_usdo.mint(to, amt);

}

Real-World Scenario

Initial: totalSupplyCap = 1,000,000 USDO

Step 1: Current supply = 990,000 USDO

  • UserA queues 20,000 USDO redemption
  • USDO is BURNED immediately
  • Supply drops to: 970,000 USDO

Step 2: Other users mint 30,000 USDO

  • Supply increases to: 1,000,000 USDO (at cap)

Step 3: Admin tries to cancel UserA's redemption

  • cancel() tries to mint 20,000 USDO back
  • Check: 1,000,000 + 20,000 > 1,000,000 cap
  • REVERTS with TotalSupplyCapExceeded

Step 4: UserA's situation:

  • Their 20,000 USDO was burned (Step 1)
  • Cannot complete redemption (it's cancelled)
  • Cannot get USDO back (supply cap blocks it)
  • Funds are PERMANENTLY STUCK

Impact

User's USDO becomes permanently inaccessible

Cannot complete redemption (cancelled)

Cannot restore USDO (supply cap blocks it)

Irreversible fund loss

Happens during normal admin operations

No recovery mechanism exists

Fix

function cancel(uint256 _len) external onlyRole(MAINTAINER_ROLE) { while (_len > 0) { bytes memory data = _redemptionQueue.popFront(); (address sender, address receiver, uint256 usdoAmt, ) = _decodeData(data);

    totalUsdo += usdoAmt;
    _redemptionInfo[receiver] -= usdoAmt;
    
    //  Direct mint - bypass cap check for cancelled redemptions
    // These are previously burned tokens being restored
    _usdo.mint(sender, usdoAmt);
    
    _len--;
}

}
