Account state fields MUST be set during the dedicated initializer instruction, not lazily on first mutating call. lendin

InvariantAccount state fields MUST be set during the dedicated initializer instruction, not lazily on first mutating call. lending_pool::borrow checks `if obligation.collateral_value == 0` and sets `collateral_value = price.saturating_mul(100)` on the fly, where `price` is the caller-supplied parameter. Whoever borrows first gets to define the collateral valuation by passing whatever price they want.

Impact

Direct loss of user funds or full protocol takeover with no meaningful preconditions.

SOL51-lazy-state-init-during-mutation: collateral_value was lazily set from caller-supplied price during borrow. Got collateral_value=100000000000, which equals attacker_price*100=100000000000. Whoever borrows first defines collateral valuation. See programs/lending_pool/src/instructions/mod.rs (borrow::handler, the `if account_state.collateral_value == 0` branch).

Sale settlement MUST resolve the buyer as the highest-bid bidder iff the bid meets the price floor; the caller is NEVER

InvariantSale settlement MUST resolve the buyer as the highest-bid bidder iff the bid meets the price floor; the caller is NEVER the buyer. nft_escrow::settle_sale uses `let buyer = if sale.price > receipt.amount { caller.key() } else { receipt.bidder };` — when the highest bid is BELOW the price floor (the case where the sale should NOT settle), the caller becomes the buyer and walks away with the NFT.

Direct loss of user funds or full protocol takeover with no meaningful preconditions.

InvariantSecurity-critical accumulators (claimed_amount, total_deposits, slash_pool) must use checked_add and abort on overflow, not wrapping_add. payment_stream::claim updates `payment_stream.claimed = transfer_amount.wrapping_add(payment_stream.claimed)`, vault_market::record_deposit wraps `total_deposits`, and stake_router::route_stake wraps `slash_pool` / `total_routed`. Once any of these saturates and wraps, downstream `remaining()` / daily-limit / fee-pool checks return a fresh budget, enabling double-claim and limit bypass. wrapping is silent — no event, no audit signal.

Vault MUST maintain a share-to-asset exchange rate so accrued fees and pool balance changes propagate to share value. va

InvariantVault MUST maintain a share-to-asset exchange rate so accrued fees and pool balance changes propagate to share value. vault_market mints shares 1:1 with deposit amount in `credit()` / `debit()` and never tracks an exchange rate. Distinct from SOL22 (share-inflation-first-depositor): the issue here is structural — shares have no asset backing at all, fees never accrue to share value.

Significant loss of user funds or invariant violation under realistic preconditions.

InvariantDaily-volume caps MUST use a rolling 24h window (or per-day with a per-period cap reset that resists boundary games). vault_market resets `daily_used` whenever `last_epoch / 86_400 != now / 86_400`, so an attacker times two deposits at minute 23:59 + 00:01 to spend 2× the daily cap inside a 2-minute window. The cap is meaningless against an attacker that watches the clock.

Impact

Hardening issue or invariant violation requiring a privileged signer / improbable state.

Layer 3 — Symbolic verification (Kani)

Kani's bounded check did not find a counterexample. This means the bug requires inputs outside the model's depth / size limits (NOT that the bug is absent — Layer 2 PoC firing remains authoritative).

Layer 4 — On-chain BPF reproduction

Not reproduced (wrapper-side defenses caught it OR test setup didn't reach buggy state)

Recommendation

Audit the affected code path against the invariant stated above and apply the structural fix proposed in the patch diff below.

Verification gates — post-patch machine checks

Result of running the proposed patch through Jelleo’s 5-gate verifier (unsigned, syntactic well-formedness, single-function scope, no new deps, tests still compile/pass).
