rubric v1.7.0

Reinitializable implementation (no _disableInitializers)

Aave v3's assessment for RD-F-143 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

VersionedInitializable uses a version integer stored in unstructured storage to prevent re-initialization. It does NOT call _disableInitializers() in the constructor (predates that OZ pattern). Implementation contract could in theory be initialized directly if version slot is in default state, though this would not affect proxy-delegated user funds. Latent footgun; has not been triggered in 50 months of v3.x upgrades.

Sources #

Methodology #

Determine whether the implementation contract does not call `_disableInitializers()` in its constructor, leaving re-initialization possible.
