Palmswap | Amount Lost: $900K
On July 27, the Palmswap exploit on the BNB chain resulted in a $900K loss due to a price manipulation vulnerability. The issue occurred because of an error in the PlpManager contract's PLP token price calculation logic. The exploit contract calculated the exchange rate between Palmswap's stable token USDP and PLP based on their liquidity. However, when adding PLP token, the rate was 1:1, and when removing PLP token, it was 1.9:1. This allowed the attacker to profit. The attacker borrowed 1M USDT and used it to mint 996,324 PLP, which were later sold at a 1.9:1 exchange rate, resulting in a profit of 901,455 USDT. The exploiter returned $721,450 to Palmswap

On July 11, the LibertiVault exploit on the Polygon chain resulted in a $450K loss due to a reentrancy attack. The root cause of the exploit was the absence of a reentrancy check in the private deposit() function. The attacker first borrowed 5M USDT through flash loans. These funds were then deposited into the LibertiVault's contract to receive rewards. During this transaction, the attacker reentered the deposit() function before the totalSupply was updated. This allowed the attacker to mint additional coins for profit since the rewards were calculated based on the initial deposit and total token supply.

On July 4, the Bamboo AI exploit on the BNB chain caused a loss of $53K due to a price manipulation attack. The root cause of the exploit was that the attacker was able to reduce the BAMBOO token supply by burning tokens, artificially increasing the token price. The attacker initially borrowed 4,042 WBNB using flash loans and swapped the funds for 137M BAMBOO tokens. The transfer of BAMBOO tokens triggered the burning process, reducing the total supply. The attacker then sold the BAMBOO tokens at an artificially inflated price, making a profit, and used it to repay the flash loans.

On July 1, the Biswap exploit on the BNB chain caused a loss of $865K due to an access control vulnerability. The attacker exploited Biswap's liquidity migrator contract, which had been deployed to facilitate liquidity migration from v2 to v3. The problem occurred in the migrate() function of the v3 contract, which lacked recipient validation, enabling token transfers to anyone. Additionally, the contract failed to check the validity of v2 tokens, enabling the attacker to use fake tokens to add v3 liquidity. The Biswap team acknowledged the issue and restricted access to the migrator contract.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Follow-up: Conduct a follow-up review to ensure that the remediation steps were effective and that the smart contract is now secure.

Huobi | Amount Lost: $8M
On September 24th, the Huobi Global exploit on the Ethereum Mainnet resulted in a $8 million loss due to the compromise of private keys. The attacker executed the attack in a single transaction by sending 4,999 ETH to a malicious contract. The attacker then created a second malicious contract and transferred 1,001 ETH to this new contract. Huobi has since confirmed that they have identified the attacker and has extended an offer of a 5% white hat bounty reward if the funds are returned to the exchange.
