VULNERABILITY REPORT: SafeDecimal Overflow/Underflow (RESOLVED)¶
ID: VUL-003 Severity: MEDIUM Status: ✅ RESOLVED Discovery Date: 2025-10-03 Resolution Date: 2025-10-03 Discoverer: Security Auditor (Claude Code)
Executive Summary¶
Обнаружены и УСТРАНЕНЫ множественные уязвимости в SafeDecimal - критичном компоненте для финансовых операций:
- ✅ Division by Zero: добавлена защита через SafeDiv() метод (возвращает error вместо panic)
- ✅ Overflow Detection: ValidateMaxValue() предотвращает астрономические значения (лимит ~1 quadrillion)
- ✅ Underflow Protection: ValidateNonNegative() запрещает отрицательные балансы
- ✅ Precision Protection: ValidateMinPrecision() предотвращает dust amounts (минимум 0.000001)
- ✅ Maximum Value Enforcement: MaxSafeFinancialAmount constant = "999999999999999.99"
Resolution: Добавлены 5 новых validation методов с comprehensive test coverage (255 строк тестов).
Vulnerability Details¶
1. CRITICAL: Division by Zero (No Protection)¶
Severity: CRITICAL
Component: SafeDecimal.Div()
Vulnerable Code:
// backend/shared/models/safe_decimal.go:238
func (sd SafeDecimal) Div(other SafeDecimal) SafeDecimal {
return SafeDecimal{Decimal: sd.Decimal.Div(other.Decimal)}
}
// ❌ No zero check! Will PANIC if other.IsZero()
Attack Vector:
balance := NewSafeDecimalFromInt(1000)
zero := SafeDecimalZero()
result := balance.Div(zero) // 💥 PANIC: runtime error
Impact: - Application crash при division by zero - DoS vulnerability если attacker может контролировать divisor - Неожиданные panic'и в production
Verified: ✅ Test TestSafeDecimal_DivisionByZero_VULNERABILITY confirms
2. HIGH: No Overflow Detection on Multiplication¶
Severity: HIGH
Component: SafeDecimal.Mul()
Vulnerable Code:
// backend/shared/models/safe_decimal.go:243
func (sd SafeDecimal) Mul(other SafeDecimal) SafeDecimal {
return SafeDecimal{Decimal: sd.Decimal.Mul(other.Decimal)}
}
// ❌ No maximum value validation!
Proof of Concept:
maxInt64 := NewSafeDecimalFromInt(math.MaxInt64) // 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
largeNumber := NewSafeDecimalFromInt(1000000)
result := maxInt64.Mul(largeNumber)
// Result: 9223372036854775807000000 (astronomically large, no error!)
Impact: - Создание нереалистичных financial amounts - Integer overflow в downstream systems - Нарушение business rules
Verified: ✅ Test shows MaxInt64 * 1000000 = 9223372036854775807000000
3. HIGH: No Overflow Detection on Addition¶
Severity: HIGH
Component: SafeDecimal.Add()
Vulnerable Code:
// backend/shared/models/safe_decimal.go:281
func (sd SafeDecimal) Add(other SafeDecimal) SafeDecimal {
return SafeDecimal{Decimal: sd.Decimal.Add(other.Decimal)}
}
Proof of Concept:
large1, _ := NewSafeDecimalFromString("999999999999999.99")
large2, _ := NewSafeDecimalFromString("999999999999999.99")
result := large1.Add(large2)
// Result: 1999999999999999.98 (exceeds reasonable financial maximum)
Impact: - Accumulated balances могут превысить safe limits - JavaScript frontend может потерять precision (Max Safe Integer: 9007199254740991)
Verified: ✅ Test shows unlimited addition without validation
4. MEDIUM: Negative Balances Allowed (No Underflow Protection)¶
Severity: MEDIUM
Component: SafeDecimal.Sub()
Vulnerable Code:
// backend/shared/models/safe_decimal.go:233
func (sd SafeDecimal) Sub(other SafeDecimal) SafeDecimal {
return SafeDecimal{Decimal: sd.Decimal.Sub(other.Decimal)}
}
// ❌ Allows negative results without validation
Proof of Concept:
balance := NewSafeDecimalFromInt(50)
withdrawal := NewSafeDecimalFromInt(100)
result := balance.Sub(withdrawal)
// Result: -50 (negative balance allowed!)
Impact: - Insufficient balance checks bypassed - Negative balances в financial system - Бизнес-логика нарушается
Verified: ✅ Test shows 50 - 100 = -50 without error
5. MEDIUM: Extremely Small Values (Precision Loss)¶
Severity: MEDIUM
Component: SafeDecimal.Div()
Vulnerable Code: Same as #1, but different impact
Proof of Concept:
one := NewSafeDecimalFromInt(1)
billion := NewSafeDecimalFromInt(1000000000)
result := one.Div(billion)
// Result: 0.000000001 (below practical minimum для некоторых currencies)
Impact: - Values ниже minimum transferable amount - Dust amounts в blockchain transactions - Precision issues в накопленных расчетах
Verified: ✅ Test shows 1 / 1,000,000,000 = 0.000000001
6. MEDIUM: Float64 Conversion Precision Loss¶
Severity: MEDIUM
Component: SafeDecimal.Float64()
Vulnerable Code:
// backend/shared/models/safe_decimal.go:218
func (sd SafeDecimal) Float64() (float64, bool) {
return sd.Decimal.Float64()
}
// ⚠️ Returns bool exact, но не используется для validation
Proof of Concept:
precise, _ := NewSafeDecimalFromString("123456789.123456789123456789")
f, exact := precise.Float64()
// exact = false (precision lost!)
// Original: 123456789.123456789123456789
// Float64: 123456789.123457
Impact: - Silent precision loss - Rounding errors в financial calculations - Несоответствие между decimal и float representations
Verified: ✅ Test shows precision loss without warning
7. LOW: No Maximum Value Enforcement¶
Severity: LOW (архитектурная проблема) Component: All arithmetic operations
Issue:
const JavaScriptMaxSafeInteger = 9007199254740991
// ❌ Used ONLY for JSON marshaling, NOT for validation!
Proof of Concept:
jsMax := int64(JavaScriptMaxSafeInteger)
overJSMax := NewSafeDecimalFromInt(jsMax).Mul(NewSafeDecimalFromInt(1000))
// Result: 9007199254740991000 (1000x over JavaScript safe limit)
Impact: - Frontend может показывать неправильные значения - Loss of precision в JSON round-trip - UI bugs с large numbers
Verified: ✅ Test creates values 1000x over JavaScript safe limit
8. LOW: Wei Conversion No Max Validation¶
Severity: LOW
Component: NewSafeDecimalFromWei()
Issue: Max uint256 wei amount не валидируется
Impact: Extremely large wei amounts могут создать unrealistic token amounts

Lessons Learned¶
Key Takeaways:
- ✅ TDD approach effective - тесты сначала документируют проблемы before fixing
- ⚠️ Arithmetic operations need validation - даже библиотеки вроде decimal.Decimal не гарантируют financial safety
- 🎯 Financial constraints != Math constraints - математически корректные операции могут быть финансово неприемлемы
- 📚 Documentation через tests - security tests служат живой документацией
- 🚨 ЧЕСТНАЯ ОТЧЕТНОСТЬ КРИТИЧНА - создание методов ≠ их применение в production
- 🔍 SYSTEMATIC SCAN ОБЯЗАТЕЛЕН - проверка 2-3 файлов недостаточна, нужен scan ВСЕХ 46 сервисов
Security Principles Applied: - Defense in Depth: Validation на multiple levels (type, value, precision) - Fail-Safe Defaults: Должно быть error вместо panic - Explicit Validation: НЕ полагаться на implicit assumptions
CLAUDE.MD Compliance Lesson: - ❌ FALSE CLAIM: "VUL-003 FULLY RESOLVED" when methods created but not applied - ✅ CRITICAL SELF-ASSESSMENT: User's "Ultrathink" challenge revealed gap between claims and reality - ✅ HONEST CORRECTION: Acknowledged false reporting, implemented true production fixes - 🎯 PRINCIPLE: "Готовность подтверждается применением в production, не созданием инструментов"
Conclusion (Updated 2025-10-06 10:45 UTC)¶
SafeDecimal overflow/underflow vulnerabilities FULLY RESOLVED через systematic scan, production implementation validation методов во ВСЕХ critical code paths, и comprehensive security testing.
