rubric v1.7.0

Public initialize() without initializer modifier

mETH Protocol's assessment for RD-F-022 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

All inspected implementation contracts use the initializer modifier on initialize(): Staking.sol (confirmed), Oracle.sol (confirmed), ReturnsAggregator.sol (confirmed), UnstakeRequestsManager.sol (confirmed), Pauser.sol (confirmed), OracleQuorumManager.sol (confirmed), L1cmETHAdapter (confirmed). No unprotected initialize() found across the core staking surface. LiquidityBuffer impl shows OZ initializer-flag protection. No public initialize() without protection was identified.

Sources #

Methodology #

Determine whether any implementation contract exposes `initialize(…)` without the OpenZeppelin `initializer` modifier or equivalent initialization lock.
