Assembly vulnerabilities demystified: a comprehensive analysis of low-level bugs
IntroductionAlthough using inline assembly might be a great option to improve a contract’s gas usage, one must be aware of the fact that several important safety features and checks from Solidity are bypassed when working directly with Yul. Not being aware of this has caused many developers to continuously repeat the same errors, turning perfectly safe Solidity code into insecure inline assembly. In this series of posts, I’ll be diving into common security pitfalls when writing inline assembl...
