🚀 Starknet's zkLend Suffers Major Security Breach

According to Odaily, the leading lending platform on the Starknet chain, zkLend, recently experienced a security breach resulting in the loss of nearly ten million dollars in assets. The analysis by SlowMist indicates that the attack exploited a specific mechanism within flash loans, manipulating the value of accumulators in the empty market. This allowed the attacker to exploit a rounding vulnerability during withdrawals to gain more assets than expected.

Experts recommend that project developers design a secure and logical model for flash loans, considering the impact on the calculation of deposit certificate tokens. Implementing a safe rounding mechanism in mathematical operations is advised to prevent precision loss. Additionally, it is crucial to enhance auditing and security testing for core business logic involving deposits and withdrawals to prevent similar incidents in the future.

🚀 Hong Kong's Stablecoin Industry Faces Gradual Regulatory Development

According to Foresight News, Hong Kong's stablecoin sector is still in its early stages, as stated by Sun Deji, Chairman of the Hong Kong Accounting and Financial Reporting Council. He cautioned against hastily implementing detailed auditing standards, which could negatively impact the industry. Sun anticipates that comprehensive guidelines for stablecoin auditing and accounting may be introduced in the next one to three years.Under the Stablecoin Ordinance effective from August 1, stablecoin license holders in Hong Kong are required to undergo annual independent audits to ensure transparency and compliance. Sun mentioned that the Hong Kong Accounting and Financial Reporting Council might only indirectly participate in stablecoin regulation. The regulatory approach for stablecoins is expected to be similar to the licensing of virtual banks, now referred to as digital banks. This approach will clarify how licensed institutions should be audited and how financial statements should confirm, measure, and disclose information.

🚀 Balancer V2 Vulnerability Leads to Significant Financial Losses

According to Foresight News, the SlowMist security team has released an analysis report on a major vulnerability in Balancer V2. This flaw has affected multiple projects and their forked versions across various blockchains, resulting in an estimated total loss of $120 million. SlowMist identified the root cause as a precision loss issue in the integer fixed-point operations used to calculate scaling factors within the composable stable pools of Balancer V2, which are based on Curve's StableSwap stable mathematics. This issue led to small but cumulative price discrepancies during token exchanges. Attackers exploited this vulnerability by executing a series of small exchanges under low liquidity conditions, amplifying the cumulative deviation into substantial profits.

SlowMist emphasized that project teams and auditors should enhance their testing coverage for extreme scenarios and boundary conditions, particularly focusing on precise handling strategies under low liquidity conditions.
