Vulnerability details

Impact

The use of _msgSender() when there is no implementation of a meta transaction mechanism that uses it, such as EIP-2771, very slightly increases gas consumption.

Proof of Concept

  1. Navigate to the following contracts.

Recommended Mitigation Steps

Replace _msgSender() with msg.sender if there is no mechanism to support meta-transactions like EIP-2771 implemented.

Only agree for :

modifier onlyFactory() {
   require(_msgSender() == factory, "NestedReserve: UNAUTHORIZED");
    _;
}

For the others, without support for meta transactions in the recipient contract, an externally owned account can not use meta transactions to interact with releaseETH and create
