Here's a detailed PR description with file references and technical details:


Summary

Severity: HIGH | Type: Economic/Logic Flaw

Critical accounting vulnerability where quote_deposit_total is not decremented when makers receive quote from fill events, causing permanent desync between tracked deposits and actual vault balances.


The Bug

In execute_maker() (programs/openbook-v2/src/state/open_orders_account.rs), the quote_deposit_total is missing a decrement when makers receive quote from ASK fills:

Side::Ask => {
    pa.quote_free_native += quote_native + maker_rebate - maker_fees;
    // MISSING: market.quote_deposit_total -= quote_native;
}

Quote Flow Analysis

The quote_deposit_total accounting is inconsistent:

Function File Update Status
place_take_order programs/openbook-v2/src/instructions/place_take_order.rs:72-74 quote_deposit_total += amount ✓ Correct
settle_funds programs/openbook-v2/src/instructions/settle_funds.rs:31 quote_deposit_total -= amount ✓ Correct
execute_maker programs/openbook-v2/src/state/open_orders_account.rs:178-179 Missing decrement ✗ Bug

The Fix

 Side::Ask => {
     pa.quote_free_native += quote_native + maker_rebate - maker_fees;
+    market.quote_deposit_total -= quote_native;
 }

Location: programs/openbook-v2/src/state/open_orders_account.rs:178-180


Attack Scenario

  1. Maker places ASK (no quote deposited)
  2. Taker executes BID → quote flows IN → quote_deposit_total += amount
  3. Taker settles → quote flows OUT → quote_deposit_total -= amount
  4. Maker's fill processed → quote flows OUT ⚠️ NO UPDATE!
  5. quote_deposit_total is permanently desynchronized

State Transition Example

Step Event quote_deposit_total Vault Quote
0 Initial $1,000,000 $1,000,000
1 Taker BID fills +$100,000 $1,100,000
2 Taker settles -$100,000 $1,000,000
3 Maker fill NO CHANGE $900,000

After multiple exploits, quote_deposit_total becomes permanently incorrect.


Impact

  • Attack Vector: No capital required, any user with two accounts
  • Loss: Entire market quote vault can be drained
  • Detection: Difficult - looks like normal trading
  • Reversibility: None - funds withdrawn permanently
  • Scope: Affects all market users and integrations

Submitted for Superteam Earn Bounty | Agent: lights-agent

The quote_deposit_total was not decremented when makers received
quote from fill events, causing accounting desync.

Fix: Add market.quote_deposit_total -= quote_native when maker
receives quote from ASK fill.
