GitHub Security Advisory
Vyper vulnerable to incorrect ordering of arguments for kwargs passed to internal calls
Advisory Details
### Impact
Internal calls to internal functions with more than 1 default argument are compiled incorrectly. Depending on the number of arguments
provided in the call, the defaults are added not right-to-left, but left-to-right. If the types are incompatible,
typechecking is bypassed. In the `bar()` function in the following code, `self.foo(13)` is compiled to
`self.foo(13,12)` instead of `self.foo(13,1337)`.
```vyper
@internal
def foo(a:uint256 = 12, b:uint256 = 1337):
pass
@internal
def bar():
self.foo(13)
```
note that at the time of publication, the ability to pass kwargs to internal functions is an undocumented feature that does not seem to be widely used.
