# Tutorial 42: abiDecoder v2

{% hint style="info" %}
[**Book an audit with Zokyo**](https://www.zokyo.io/)
{% endhint %}

In this section, we will explore vulnerabilities tied to the **`abi.decode` v2** functionality in Solidity. The **`abiDecoder v2`** is an improved version of the original ABI decoder used to decode input data in Ethereum smart contracts. While it offers enhanced efficiency and flexibility for decoding complex data structures, it also introduces specific security risks if not properly handled. Issues such as **malformed data inputs**, **overflows**, or incorrect assumptions about data types can lead to potential vulnerabilities.

We will investigate mistakes and misuses of `abi.decode` v2 and how they may expose smart contracts to attacks
