Why should developers avoid using tx.origin for authentication?

Tip: Click "Play" to reveal options and start playing.

#A

#B

#C

#D

Explanation:
Attackers can trick users into calling a malicious contract. That contract then makes a call where tx.origin equals the victim’s address. This bypasses access control and leads to unauthorized actions.

Why are fallback functions dangerous?

Tip: Click "Play" to reveal options and start playing.

#A

#B

#C

#D

Explanation:
Fallback functions run automatically when unknown calls or plain ETH are sent. If they contain external calls or heavy logic, attackers can trigger recursion or re-entrancy. They must be kept minimal and safe.

What makes nested delegatecalls dangerous?

Tip: Click "Play" to reveal options and start playing.

#A

#B

#C

#D

Explanation:
Each delegatecall runs in the caller’s storage space, so nesting them multiplies the chances of overwriting incorrect slots. This breaks upgradeability guarantees and corrupts state. Auditors treat deep delegatecall chains as red flags.

Why do upgradeable contracts avoid constructors?

Tip: Click "Play" to reveal options and start playing.

#A

#B

#C

#D

Explanation:
Constructors run only during deployment and do not execute through proxies. Using an initializer ensures state is properly set through proxy calls. The entire proxy pattern relies on replacing constructors with explicit initialization.
