Base vault’s $6M exploit exposes a disclosure gap: Immunefi

A $6M Base vault exploit has exposed a disclosure gap, Immunefi says, as unidentified operators remain silent with $31.7M still held in the vault.

  • A $6 million exploit on a Base vault has highlighted a significant gap in vulnerability disclosure, with Immunefi emphasizing the lack of clear channels for whitehat researchers.
  • The exploit occurred due to a malicious contract being added to the vault's whitelist, allowing unauthorized withdrawals without collateral, a vulnerability that could have been caught by a bug bounty program.
  • The unidentified operators of the vault have remained silent, raising concerns and complicating efforts for security researchers to address the issue and potentially recover funds.
