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

Recommended Mitigation Steps

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