Summary
vyper default functions don't respect nonreentrancy keys
Details

Summary

Prior to v0.3.0, __default__() functions did not respect the @nonreentrancy decorator and the lock was not emitted. This is a known bug and was already visible in the issue tracker (https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/issues/2455), but it is being re-issued as an advisory so that tools relying on the advisory publication list can incorporate it into their searches.

A contract search was additionally performed and no vulnerable contracts were found in production.

PoC

@external
@payable
@nonreentrant("default")
def __default__():
    pass

after codegen:

[seq,
  [if, [lt, calldatasize, 4], [goto, fallback]],
  [mstore, 28, [calldataload, 0]],
  [with, _func_sig, [mload, 0], seq],
  [seq_unchecked,
    [label, fallback],
    [seq,
      pass,
      # Line 5
      pass,
      pass,
      # Line 4
      stop]]],

Impact

No vulnerable production contracts were found. Additionally, using a lock on a default function is a very sparsely used pattern. As such, the impact is low.

Severity
5.3 (Medium)
