What Auditors Should Check
If you're auditing a protocol with similar architecture to Rari Capital, these are the critical security checks that could have prevented this incident (May 2022).
- Verify all logic paths related to Flashloan Reentrancy Attack are guarded by proper access controls and input validation - see the Flash Loans Attacks attack class for patterns
- Check that all state-changing functions follow the Checks-Effects-Interactions (CEI) pattern to prevent reentrancy and logic ordering bugs
- Review privileged functions (owner, admin, governance) for potential abuse vectors - centralization risks should be documented and bounded with timelocks or multi-sigs
