Vulnerability Details

The Chainlink API (latestAnswer) used in the Buoy3Pool oracle wrappers is deprecated:

This API is deprecated. Please see API Reference for the latest Price Feed API. Chainlink Docs

Impact

It seems like the old API can return stale data. Checks similar to that of the new API using latestTimestamp and latestRoundare are needed.
This could lead to stale prices according to the Chainlink documentation:

• under current notifications: "if answeredInRound < roundId could indicate stale data."
• under historical price data: "A timestamp with zero value means the round is not complete and should not be used."

Recommended Mitigation Steps

Add the recommended checks:

(
    uint80 roundID,
    int256 price,
    ,
    uint256 timeStamp,
    uint80 answeredInRound
) = chainlink.latestRoundData();
require(
    timeStamp != 0,
    “ChainlinkOracle::getLatestAnswer: round is not complete”
);
require(
    answeredInRound >= roundID,
    “ChainlinkOracle::getLatestAnswer: stale data”
);
require(price != 0, "Chainlink Malfunction”);
