Incident Overview
The root cause was an arbitrary-call vulnerability in its closed-source V3/V4 contracts due to insufficient input validation on low-level calls. Attackers abused existing user token and Uniswap V3 LP NFT approvals to drain funds via transferFrom operations. The team paused affected features, urged users to revoke approvals, and published a security incident analysis.
