Security Audit
May 22nd, 2025
Version 1.0.0
Presented by 0xMacro
This document includes the results of the security audit for SuperReturn's smart contract code as found in the section titled ‘Source Code’. The security audit was performed by the Macro security team from May 13th to May 15th, 2025.
The purpose of this audit is to review the source code of certain SuperReturn Solidity contracts, and provide feedback on the design, architecture, and quality of the source code with an emphasis on validating the correctness and security of the software in its entirety.
Disclaimer: While Macro’s review is comprehensive and has surfaced some changes that should be made to the source code, this audit should not solely be relied upon for security, as no single audit is guaranteed to catch all possible bugs.
The following is an aggregation of issues found by the Macro Audit team:
Severity | Count | Acknowledged | Won't Do | Addressed |
---|---|---|---|---|
Medium | 2 | - | - | 2 |
Low | 2 | 1 | - | 1 |
Code Quality | 1 | - | - | 1 |
Informational | 2 | - | - | - |
SuperReturn was quick to respond to these issues.
Our understanding of the specification was based on the following sources:
Some of the reviewed decoders allow Boring Vaults to interact with protocols controlled by an EOA or multisig wallets that can update important state variables or upgrade the contract to a new version. It is trusted that the owners of this EOA or mulitsig will act in the interest of users. It should be understood that a loss of Boring Vault funds is possible if these wallets act maliciously.
The following source code was reviewed during the audit:

Specifically, we audited the following contracts.

BoringVaultSCVersion

destinationChainId
We quantify issues in three parts:
This third part – the severity level – is a summary of how much consideration the client should give to fixing the issue. We assign severity according to the table of guidelines below:
Severity | Description |
---|---|
(C-x) Critical |
We recommend the client must fix the issue, no matter what, because not fixing would mean significant funds/assets WILL be lost. |
(H-x) High |
We recommend the client must address the issue, no matter what, because not fixing would be very bad, or some funds/assets will be lost, or the code’s behavior is against the provided spec. |
(M-x) Medium |
We recommend the client to seriously consider fixing the issue, as the implications of not fixing the issue are severe enough to impact the project significantly, albiet not in an existential manner. |
(L-x) Low |
The risk is small, unlikely, or may not relevant to the project in a meaningful way. Whether or not the project wants to develop a fix is up to the goals and needs of the project. |
(Q-x) Code Quality |
The issue identified does not pose any obvious risk, but fixing could improve overall code quality, on-chain composability, developer ergonomics, or even certain aspects of protocol design. |
(I-x) Informational |
Warnings and things to keep in mind when operating the protocol. No immediate action required. |
(G-x) Gas Optimizations |
The presented optimization suggestion would save an amount of gas significant enough, in our opinion, to be worth the development cost of implementing it. |
BoringVaultSCVersion
is not compliant with ERC-7802
The purpose of BoringVaultSCVersion
is to make the boring vault compatible with the SuperchainERC20 standard. To achieve this, it must implement the ERC-7802 standard, which states:
Implementors MUST ensure that the
supportsInterface
method of ERC-165 returns true for this interface ID to indicate support forIERC7802
.
Currently, BoringVaultSCVersion
lacks an explicit supportsInterface
function implementation.
Remediation to Consider
Implement a supportsInterface
function that returns true
for the following interface ids:
type(IERC7802).interfaceId
type(IERC20).interfaceId
type(IERC165).interfaceId
type(IERC1155Receiver).interfaceId
type(IERC721Receiver).interfaceId
adapterId
In MorphoDecoderAndSanitizer, the deposit
and withdraw
functions accept adapterId
as their first parameter. The Morpho Router uses this ID to retrieve the adapter's address from its adapters
array. Because each adapter controls its own deposit token and the adapterId
lacks proper sanitization in the decoder, the boring vault cannot effectively restrict which tokens are permitted for deposits.
Remediation to Consider
Retrieve the adapter's address directly from the Router's public adapters
array. Use this address to obtain the depositToken
and implement proper address sanitization in the decoder.
WithdrawAssetUpdated
event
In BoringOnChainQueue.sol, the event WithdrawAssetUpdated
is defined with this parameter order:
event WithdrawAssetUpdated(
address indexed assetOut,
uint24 minimumSecondsToDeadline,
uint24 secondsToMaturity,
uint16 minDiscount,
uint16 maxDiscount,
uint96 minimumShares
);
Source: BoringOnChainQueue.sol#L167-L174
However, when emitting this event, the updateWithdrawAsset
function swaps the order of parameters:
emit WithdrawAssetUpdated(
assetOut, secondsToMaturity, minimumSecondsToDeadline, minDiscount, maxDiscount, minimumShares
);
Source: BoringOnChainQueue.sol#L300-L302
The second and third arguments (secondsToMaturity
and minimumSecondsToDeadline
) are in the wrong order.
Remediation to Consider
Correct the parameter order in the updateWithdrawAsset
function to match the event definition.
destinationChainId
The AcrossDecoderAndSanitizer implements the depositV3
function, which accepts destinationChainId
as its 7th parameter. While the function properly sanitizes all address parameters, it does not validate destinationChainId
. Adding this validation would allow the boring vault to control the destination chain where assets can be bridged to.
Remediation to Consider
Add sanitization for the parameter destinationChainId
.
In its current state, the project fails to compile. Running forge compile —skip test
produces this error:
Error: Encountered invalid solc version in lib/openzeppelin-contracts-upgradeable/contracts/proxy/utils/UUPSUpgradeable.sol:
No solc version exists that matches the version requirement: ^0.8.22
This error stems from a Solidity version mismatch. The project uses the latest version (v5.3.0) of openzeppelin-contracts-upgradeable
, which requires pragma solidity ^0.8.22;
, while the boring vault contracts specify pragma solidity 0.8.21;
.
Remediation to Consider
To resolve this, either downgrade openzeppelin-contracts-upgradeable
to v5.1 (which uses Solidity 0.8.21) or upgrade the boring vault contracts to Solidity 0.8.22.
Both, the BoringVault
and BoringVaultSCVersion
use different types of storage patterns. They inherit from Auth
, which uses regular (sequential) storage, while also inheriting from ERC20Upgradable
, which uses unstructured storage. This mixed pattern could cause storage collisions during contract upgrades, so extra caution is needed when upgrading these contracts.
The integrated protocols used by the boring vault for yield generation—OpenEden, Across, Sake, and Morpho—must be trustworthy. A critical security measure is ensuring that the protocol’s owner or other privileged users implement proper multisig setups to eliminate single points of failure.
Analysis of deployed contracts shows that among these protocols, only Across has implemented a proper 3/5 multisig setup. OpenEden on mainnet and Sake on Soneium both use single EOA accounts as owners, which requires extra caution when using these protocols. Furthermore, the Morpho mainnet address uses a different contract than the testnet (Sepolia) version, making the current MorphoDecoderAndSanitizer incompatible with the provided mainnet address.
A detailed breakdown of the supported protocols, their production addresses and their roles is shown below:
