There's a weakness in Dela (#258) whereby the (existing) smart contracts store key=values without any prefix for the keys in a shared key/value store. Effectively this would allow any malicious user to overwrite other smart contracts' data.
This fixes it for the
value
contract.We probably need to do something similar for https://github.com/dedis/d-voting
@PascalinDe @lanterno for your information, the current key/value store is limited to keys of 32 bytes. Do reach out if adding a prefix could be a problem for D-Voting (we haven't checked).
