Spiko’s Governance Faces Security Flaws: Unrestricted Calls, Voting Risks, and Lacks Community Safeguards
  • A comprehensive assessment reveals multiple attack vectors in Spiko’s on-chain governance, including unrestricted external calls during proposal execution, potential re-entrancy or token drains, and the risk of concentrated voting power amplified by flash loans.

  • Additional concerns include overlap between timelock and emergency pause admin roles enabling instant pauses and upgrades without safeguards, and upgradeability via a proxy pattern that lacks multi-sig protections.

  • Proposal metadata can grow without bound, raising the risk of out-of-gas execution for older proposals, and there is an absence of a community veto mechanism to counter harmful proposals.

  • Cross-chain bridge governance is tied to core governance, increasing the risk if bridge assets are exposed, while delegate-by-signature replay across chains due to missing chain-ID domain separation compounds the threat.
