★ Public initialize() without initializer modifier
Sky Lending (formerly MakerDAO)'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 #
USDS implementation exposes initialize() with OZ initializer modifier; constructor calls _disableInitializers(). Legacy MCD contracts (Vat, Pot, Jug) are non-proxied with constructor init — no initialize() present. No unprotected initialize found on any live implementation.
