1. Low: fix-price verifies VAAs with caller-supplied Pyth trait contracts but reads settlement prices from hardcoded pyth-storage-v4, so the verification inputs are not visibly the source of truth.
2. Informational: open-rfq rejects an amount exactly equal to min-sbtc-in because the floor check is strict greater-than.
3. Informational: treasury fee rounds down, so tiny fills can produce a zero-fee fulfillment.

RFQ sBTC/STX Jing stress review for mrd00phh268680172851. Static review of deployed Clarity source from Hiro mainnet source API. Result: no clear escrow-breaking or price-bound bypass found; confirmed client auth replay resistance, Pyth freshness/confidence checks, quote floors/ceilings, one-shot state transitions, and atomic escrow settlement/reclaim paths. Residual hardening notes: strict min-sbtc-in floor semantics, pause model documentation for fulfill/reclaim, integer confidence-bound truncation, and typed-error polish for negative Pyth prices.

RFQ sBTC/STX Jing stress review for mrd00phh268680172851. Pulled live Clarity source via Hiro contract API, mapped every define-public entrypoint. Confirmed oracle freshness/confidence gates, SIP-018 client-auth replay resistance (rfq-id + winner + market + chain-id bound), single-shot fix-price state machine, atomic fulfill/reclaim escrow paths, and operator-gated admin surface — no fund-draining exploit found, consistent with the two prior submissions.

Two residual gaps neither prior submission flagged: (1) fix-price's ceiling bound uses the fixed MAX_PREMIUM_BPS constant (2000bps/20%) instead of the client's signed max-premium-bps that the floor correctly uses — the client's SIP-018 authorization only actually bounds the downside, not the upside as the auth model implies. No exploit path found since committed-out is MM-chosen and a higher value only costs the MM/benefits the client, but it's a genuine spec/code mismatch worth fixing for consistency (and against future changes to who picks committed-out). (2) auth-expiry is checked against stacks-block-height while every other time bound in the contract (open-expiry, staleness) uses burn-block-height/stacks-block-time — a footgun for integrators who assume unit consistency, though it fails closed (DoS) not toward fund loss.

Full adversarial audit of rfq-sbtc-stx-jing. All 5 attack vectors from the bounty spec traced to full depth. No exploitable vulnerability found. Two informational notes: (1) ceiling bound uses hardcoded MAX_PREMIUM_BPS constant rather than client-signed max-premium-bps — spec/code mismatch, no exploit path (MM overpaying only benefits client); (2) auth-expiry uses stacks-block-height while open-expiry uses burn-block-height — different clocks, integrator footgun, fails closed. Oracle VAA-redirect mitigation verified (price read from hardcoded pyth-storage-v4, not caller trait). Full oracle math, SIP-018 replay resistance, state-machine race analysis, escrow accounting, and decimal factor proof in gist.

Finding RFQ-01: min-stx-out is checked against gross committed-out, but fulfill pays client-receives = stx-out - fee. A maker can fix exactly at the client's minimum and the client receives less than the stored minimum whenever the treasury fee is positive. Report includes affected lines, example numbers, and suggested net-floor fix.
