Audit 21k: jing sBTC/STX market on Pyth Lazer + swap router (exact mainnet bytes)
HIGH/MEDIUM — Pyth Lazer carried-forward feed values can pass the market's 80s freshness policy and settle funds at an old BTC/STX ratio.
Exact deployed market source: shape-feed L525-552 receives each decoded feed, including optional feed-update-timestamp L540, but discards it and writes publish-time: publish-time L550. lazer-feeds L555-584 sets that shared publish-time from the update-level decoded.timestamp L561 and applies it to BOTH feeds L582-583. fresh-classification-price then freshness-checks only that rewritten timestamp L593-596; execute-settlement uses the same shaped feeds.
Pyth Pro/Lazer explicitly documents different semantics: a price may be carried forward when no fresh aggregate is produced; in that case feedUpdateTimestamp < timestampUs, and consumers "should always rely on feedUpdateTimestamp" to determine freshness/origin. See https://docs.pyth.network/price-feeds/pro/payload-reference (opens in new tab) and /understanding-price-data.
The repo fetcher makes this worse: _lazer.js L13 requests only price, exponent, confidence, publisherCount, not feedUpdateTimestamp. Thus a freshly signed report envelope can carry an older BTC or STX price, pass verify-price-feeds(... max-age=80) and both market freshness asserts, then price settlement using a component older than 80s. If one feed is carried forward while the other updates, the ratio is stale and makers/takers settle at a price the stated policy should reject. This directly breaks invariant A ("older than u80 accepted") without forging Pyth signatures.
Fix: request signed feedUpdateTimestamp; require it present for both feeds; convert each feed's own timestamp to seconds and enforce MAX_STALENESS on that value. Do not substitute the bundle timestamp. Add a fixture where timestampUs is fresh but one feedUpdateTimestamp is >80s old; refresh-mid, gated deposits, and settlement must reject.
No mainnet exploitation.
Full invariant analysis (A-L) of market v4, router v2, Pyth Lazer oracle. No critical/high/medium findings.
LOW: Division by zero on limit-price=0 in smart-swap. When limit-price=u0 and Jing leg doesn't fill everything, dlmm-capacity and limit-min hit (/ ... 0) — runtime error, tx reverts, no funds at risk. Fix: (asserts! (> limit-price u0) ERR_ZERO_AMOUNT) at top of both smart-swap functions. Not reachable via split swap.
Informational: (1) Oracle >= vs market > freshness — 1s gap, zero impact. (2) Smart-swap double-charges oracle fee via jing-size then jing-swap (fee currently 0). (3) Same Lazer update replayable in 80s window (by design).
Invariant verdicts: A Oracle: HOLDS. B Park: HOLDS. C Walk: HOLDS. D u1026: HOLDS. E Tuple: HOLDS. F Capacity: HOLDS. G User: HOLDS. H Limits: HOLDS. I Resting: HOLDS. J Reentrancy: HOLDS. K Cost: HOLDS. L Zero price: LOW.

MEDIUM: maker-gate price classification skips confidence-ratio and exponent-match checks execute-settlement enforces, letting a crossing order buy taker economics at the maker fee rate.
Affected: markets-sbtc-stx-jing-v4.clar, fresh-classification-price (L686-701), consumed by ERR_MUST_USE_SWAP gates in deposit-token-y/x, readmit-token-y/x, set-token-*-limit, and reprice-or-swap-token-y/x's crossing branch (all call sites L890-1376).
Root cause: fresh-classification-price only checks publish-time freshness and price>0 per feed (L693-696). execute-settlement (L2471), which prices actual settlement, also requires conf < price/MAX_CONF_RATIO both feeds (L2508-2513) and expo-x == expo-y (L2514) on the same shaped feed. fresh-classification-price never reads conf/expo, though shape-feed (L607-616) carries both.
Why it matters (L82: "a maker must not become a taker for free"): would-take-as-x/y is the only gate blocking a crossing order from ERR_MUST_USE_SWAP. Maker fills pay FEE_BPS (10bps, L15); a taker pays FEE_BPS+TAKER_REBATE_BPS (30bps, L1707). During real volatility, when Lazer legitimately publishes conf >= price/MAX_CONF_RATIO, fresh-classification-price still prices off it while execute-settlement would reject that feed (ERR_PRICE_UNCERTAIN). A depositor can time a deposit/reprice off a low-confidence or exponent-mismatched price to land non-crossing at the gate, get waved through as maker, then settle at a fresh checked price -- 10bps on flow that should cost 30bps.
No escrow at risk -- fee-tier break, not fund loss. Fix: add execute-settlement's two asserts (conf-ratio both feeds, expo match) to fresh-classification-price before computing the ratio.
Distinct from the other submission (LOW div-by-zero only, "Oracle: HOLDS", no examination of this asymmetry). No mainnet exploitation -- static review only.

LOW: swap-router-sbtc-stx-jingswap (v2) conflates "book had no liquidity" with "book unavailable". jing-swap (router L153-176) maps EVERY market swap error to none via an unconditional e none arm; consumers (L395-405 split, L969-977/L1032-1040 smart) then route 100% of the sized book leg to DLMM/XYK/Velar. The blocking state is reachable by anyone: close-deposits (market L1567-1588) has no caller check beyond paused/phase/both-side-minimums (L1575-1581), and the cycle then sits in SETTLE until a permissionless settle-with-refresh, or cancel-cycle after 42 blocks (L2300-2312). In SETTLE, get-taker-capacity (L2810-2866) still folds the live lists so jing-size returns a non-zero leg; the market's swap fails u1002 in deposit--core (L696) before close-deposits at L1693; the router swallows it and every router taker in the window is silently AMM-only, bounded only by their own limit/min-out (L980/L1043). Example: 0.5 sBTC smart swap at a 2% limit executes entirely on AMMs; shortfall bound 0.01 sBTC (1,000,000 sats), partly capturable by an attacker positioned in the fallback pool net of AMM costs. Precondition: both side minimums (operator-set, default u0 at L69-70). Same e none at L68 of deploying/swap-router-sbtc-stx-jingswap-v1.clar, so it survives router v3. Fix (preferred): in smart-swap-, when jing-ok is false and jing-amount>0, assert the AMM-only fill is within a tolerance of the sized leg's expected mid, else revert. Alt: jing-swap returns (response (optional {...}) uint), error arm (if (or (is-eq e u1012) (is-eq e u1023) (is-eq e u1026)) (ok none) (err e)), try! at call sites. INFO: execute-settlement conf check (L2367-2372) floors (/ price u50) to u0 below raw price 50 (vacuous there; unreachable for BTC/STX at expo -8). pick-feed (L520-521) lets a duplicate feed id overwrite silently. Credited, not claimed: Lazer per-feed timestamp (sub 3), maker-gate conf asymmetry (sub 2), limit-price u0 division (sub 1). Full report + invariant verdicts at the gist.
