Source-level debugger — step opcodes and Solidity in sync

The attack is replayed in an in-browser EVM preloaded with the exact dumped fork state. The execution tree shows every call; step by Solidity line or by opcode across all depths — source, Stack, Memory, Storage, Balances (native / ERC-20 / NFT), Transient storage and Return value stay in sync. Click a tree node, opcode, or source line to jump. No backend, no live RPC.

TL;DR#

withdrawListing authorizes the deposit manager but never marks the listing withdrawn. The same deposit can be transferred six times, draining the marketplace reserve.

Background#

AuditVault finding 17095-origin-marketplace-repeated-withdraw is an audit-time issue rather than a historical exploit. This write-up reduces the report to one state transition and keeps the claimed harm assertion executable offline.

The vulnerable code#

The minimized source is explicitly marked RECONSTRUCTED and preserves the report's blamed operation with an @> VULN marker in test/17095-origin-marketplace-repeated-withdraw.sol. It is byte-identical to the Playground synthetic source. No verified production source was available in this local checkout.

Root cause#

The function transfers listing.deposit without a consumed/withdrawn state transition.

Preconditions#

The affected protocol path is deployed; the attacker can reach the public operation described in the report. The synthetic removes unrelated integrations while preserving the state and authorization assumptions required for the finding.

Attack walkthrough#

  1. Create a 20-unit listing, repeat withdrawListing six times, and recover 120 units against a 100-unit reserve.
  2. The run() method requires the broken invariant and sets confirmed; the Forge trace records a passing test at output.txt:355.
  3. The remediation is to validate the accounting/state transition before accepting the external call or to consume the one-time state.

Diagrams#

flowchart TD A["Attacker invokes public path"] --> B["Vulnerable state transition"] B --> C["Inconsistent accounting or revert"] C --> D["Reported protocol harm"]

Remediation#

Validate external addresses and returned balances before updating state, and make each one-time transition explicit. Add invariant tests covering zero/deflationary/epoch-boundary inputs.

How to reproduce#

BASH
cd 17095-origin-marketplace-repeated-withdraw_exp
forge test -vvv

The browser replay uses scripts/poc-configs/17095-origin-marketplace-repeated-withdraw.mjs and the same local-deploy Exploit contract.
