PancakeSwap Infinity: Hooks Security Considerations

This report reviews PancakeSwap Infinity’s modular architecture (Vault, PoolManagers, and Hooks) and summarizes security findings from a CertiK analysis of hook contracts, highlighting common issues such as missing access controls, cross-pool storage interference, centralization and upgrade risks, hook permission mismatches, potential denial-of-service cases, and the danger of hooks that modify accounting deltas; it recommends robust access control, pool-specific validation, limiting upgradeability or protecting it with multisig/timelock, careful permission registration, and thorough security review prior to deployment.
