Avoiding Common Attacks

  1. Re-entrancy has been avoided by using .transfer() instead of .call.value() or .send() which are less secure
  2. Checks-Effects-Interaction has been implemented - First checking Policy .state == PENDING, then setting .state = RELEASED and only then making a .transfer() call.
  3. OpenZeppelin.SafeMath is used whenever performing any mathematical operations. The only exceptions are for-loop counters which use counter++ in the for loop anyway, and do not threaten any loss of funds or DoS.
  4. Only Policy owners are allowed to call force_release.
  5. Oracle callbacks are authenticated by ensuring that the calling address belongs to Oraclize.
  6. DoS on Oraclize callbacks is avoided by using queryIndexes to ensure that every Oraclize query can only trigger the __callback() function only once.
