rubric v1.7.0

Rescue/emergencyWithdraw without timelock

Circle USYC's assessment for RD-F-041 — scored red on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

[CRITICAL] sweep(address _token, uint256 _amount, address _recipient) exists on YieldCoin (Ethereum implementation 0xBF0f2F3a) and Teller implementation (0xF8724D6b). Callable by owner (EOA) directly with no timelock. A single tx from the owner EOA can drain all protocol-held assets. Both contracts have been confirmed as UUPS-upgradeable, adding a second drain vector via malicious upgrade.

Sources #

Methodology #

Determine whether a `rescue(…)` or `emergencyWithdraw(…)` function exists callable by admin without a timelock delay on execution.
