CRITICALAccess ControlCWE-284CVSS: 9.8
Unprotected Initialization Function
The initialize function can be called by anyone, allowing an attacker to take ownership of the contract.

Location

Lines 45-48 in Token.sol

Vulnerable Code

function initialize(address _owner) public {
    owner = _owner;
    initialized = true;
}

Missing access control allows anyone to call this function

Fixed Code

function initialize(address _owner) public {
    require(!initialized, "Already initialized");
    require(msg.sender == deployer, "Not authorized");
    owner = _owner;
    initialized = true;
}

Fix Explanation:

Added checks to ensure the function can only be called once and only by the authorized deployer

Exploit Scenario

An attacker could call initialize() with their own address, becoming the owner and gaining full control of the contract including the ability to mint tokens or drain funds.

AI Recommendation

Always protect initialization functions with proper access controls. Use OpenZeppelin's Initializable pattern for upgradeable contracts.

HIGHReentrancyCWE-841CVSS: 8.1
Reentrancy Vulnerability in Withdraw Function
The withdraw function updates state after external call, allowing reentrancy attacks that could drain the contract.

Location

Lines 120-125 in Token.sol

Vulnerable Code

function withdraw(uint256 amount) public {
    require(balances[msg.sender] >= amount);
    (bool success, ) = msg.sender.call{value: amount}("");
    require(success);
    balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
}

State is updated after external call, violating checks-effects-interactions pattern

Fixed Code

function withdraw(uint256 amount) public nonReentrant {
    require(balances[msg.sender] >= amount);
    balances[msg.sender] -= amount; // Update state first
    (bool success, ) = msg.sender.call{value: amount}("");
    require(success);
}

Fix Explanation:

Updated state before external call and added nonReentrant modifier to prevent reentrancy attacks

Exploit Scenario

An attacker could create a malicious contract that calls withdraw() recursively before the balance is updated, draining more funds than they own.

AI Recommendation

Always follow the checks-effects-interactions pattern. Update state before making external calls and use OpenZeppelin's ReentrancyGuard.

MEDIUMInput ValidationCWE-20CVSS: 5.3
Missing Input Validation
The transfer function doesn't validate that the recipient address is not zero.

Location

Lines 85-90 in Token.sol

Vulnerable Code

function transfer(address to, uint256 amount) public {
    require(balances[msg.sender] >= amount);
    balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
    balances[to] += amount;
}

No validation for zero address, tokens could be permanently lost

Fixed Code

function transfer(address to, uint256 amount) public {
    require(to != address(0), "Cannot transfer to zero address");
    require(balances[msg.sender] >= amount, "Insufficient balance");
    balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
    balances[to] += amount;
    emit Transfer(msg.sender, to, amount);
}

Fix Explanation:

Added zero address check and proper error messages, plus Transfer event emission

Exploit Scenario

Users could accidentally send tokens to the zero address, permanently burning them without intention.

AI Recommendation

Always validate input parameters, especially addresses. Add events for important state changes.
