Security at a Glance πŸ‘€

Unknown: $1.4M

On October 24th, an unknown Compound-fork protocol was exploited on Base, resulting in a loss of approximately $1.4m. While the affected contracts were unverified at the time of the incident, our analysis indicates that this attack was probably due to vulnerable price dependency on Uniswap spot price.

EGA: $554K

On October 5th, an unverified contract was exploited on BSC, causing a loss of $554k. The root cause was the lack of slippage protection in the function that buys EGA tokens from Pancake pairs, susceptible to price manipulation attacks.

Key incidents include the DxSale token locker exploit ($7.3M) involving three missing state updates compounded by a deployer key compromise, the SquidRouterModule exploit ($3.2M) caused by improper input validation in an Axelar Bridge integration that allowed forged cross-chain messages to drain 86 Safe wallets, and the Gravity Bridge signing key compromise ($5.4M). Other incidents involve a compromised deployer key (Stake DAO, $91K) and a vulnerable off-chain bridge backend (Alephium, $300K).
