Vulnerability details

Impact

ERC20 balanceOf call is costly. Malt balance is read twice in sellMalt call, which isn't needed, so gas is overspent here.

Proof of Concept

Malt balanceOf(address(this)) is called twice:
https://github.com/code-423n4/2021-11-malt/blob/main/src/contracts/SwingTrader.sol#L86
https://github.com/code-423n4/2021-11-malt/blob/main/src/contracts/SwingTrader.sol#L150

Recommended Mitigation Steps

It's recommended to make internal version of costBasis that takes Malt balance as an argument.

Now:

uint256 totalMaltBalance = malt.balanceOf(address(this));
...
(...) = costBasis();
...
function costBasis() public view returns (uint256 cost, uint256 decimals) {
...
uint256 maltBalance = malt.balanceOf(address(this));
...

To be:

uint256 totalMaltBalance = malt.balanceOf(address(this));
...
(...) = _costBasis(totalMaltBalance);
...
function _costBasis(uint256 maltBalance) internal view returns (...) {
...
function costBasis() public view returns (...) {
	return _costBasis(malt.balanceOf(address(this)));
}

Agree that the code can be refactored to make it less redundant
