rubric v1.7.0

Reinitializable implementation (no _disableInitializers)

Liquity V1 + V2 (LUSD / BOLD)'s assessment for RD-F-143 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Neither v1 nor v2 uses upgradeable proxy patterns. No OZ Initializable, no _disableInitializers() required. v2 Governance.sol is not an upgradeable proxy (confirmed Etherscan source). BoldToken.sol is not a proxy. Reinitializer attack vector requires proxy architecture that Liquity explicitly does not use — structurally inapplicable.

Methodology #

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