A recent exploit of an unaudited smart contract on the Base chain has resulted in users losing approximately 55 WETH, highlighting the growing risk associated with decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. CertiK, a leading blockchain security firm, reported this incident, emphasizing the vulnerability of user-level permission exploits. The attack underscores the need for heightened attention to user interactions within DeFi protocols, rather than solely focusing on protocol flaws. 55 WETH was lost due to a user-level exploit where permission access was exploited. This incident highlights the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats in the DeFi space, as attacks shift from traditional smart contract vulnerabilities to user-centric permissions.
