Malicious External Contracts | Hacking Solidity (v0.8)

When you cast an address to a specific contract type inside of solidity, solidity doesn't check that the contract in question is indeed the expected type! This means someone can come in and place malicious external contracts to represent benign contracts under special circumstances. It's mission critical that you understand this vulnerability and ensure your code adequately hedges against it.
