INTRODUCTION#
Moonwell engaged Halborn to perform a security assessment of their smart contracts starting and ending on December 11th, 2025. The assessment scope was limited to the smart contracts provided to Halborn. Commit hashes and additional details are available in the Scope section of this report.
The ERC20MoonwellMorphoStrategy contract implements an automated yield-splitting strategy, allocating funds between the Moonwell mToken market and MetaMorpho vaults. It supports non-custodial deposits, proportional rebalancing, slippage-checked swaps, and Merkle-based reward claims, while enforcing configurable parameters such as allocation splits, slippage limits, and compound fees.
ASSESSMENT SUMMARY#
Halborn was allocated 1 day for this engagement and assigned 1 full-time security engineers to conduct a comprehensive review of the smart contracts within scope. The engineers are experts in blockchain and smart contract security, with advanced skills in penetration testing and smart contract exploitation, as well as extensive knowledge of multiple blockchain protocols.
The objectives of this assessment are to:
Identify potential security vulnerabilities within the smart contracts.
Verify that the smart contract functionality operates as intended.
In summary, Halborn identified several areas for improvement to reduce the likelihood and impact of security risks, which were mostly addressed by the Moonwell team. The main recommendations were:
Replace > with >= in withdraw().Either fix the comment or replace onlyBackend with onlyOwner.
TEST APPROACH AND METHODOLODY#
Halborn conducted a combination of manual code review and automated security testing to balance efficiency, timeliness, practicality, and accuracy within the scope of this assessment. While manual testing is crucial for identifying flaws in logic, processes, and implementation, automated testing enhances coverage of smart contracts and quickly detects deviations from established security best practices.
The following phases and associated tools were employed throughout the term of the assessment:
Research into the platform's architecture, purpose and use.
Manual code review and walkthrough of smart contracts to identify any logical issues.
Comprehensive assessment of the safety and usage of critical Solidity variables and functions within scope that could lead to arithmetic-related vulnerabilities.
Local testing using custom scripts (
Foundry).Fork testing against main networks (
Foundry).Static security analysis of scoped contracts, and imported functions (
Slither).

Disclaimer#
Halborn strongly recommends conducting a follow-up assessment of the project either within six months or immediately following any material changes to the codebase, whichever comes first. This approach is crucial for maintaining the project’s integrity and addressing potential vulnerabilities introduced by code modifications.
