BiSwap LP Migration Pool Attack Results In $710,000 Losses

Key Points:

• BiSwap LP migration pool attack causes $710,000 in losses due to vulnerabilities in the migration contract, allowing asset manipulation and deception of users.
• The platform swiftly resolves the Migrator contract vulnerability, ensuring the safety of user funds and emphasizing the importance of robust security measures in the DeFi space.

In a recent incident, BiSwap, a popular decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, fell victim to a migration pool attack, resulting in significant losses of approximately $710,000. 

The attack exposed vulnerabilities in the BiSwap migration contract, allowing the attacker to manipulate assets and deceive users. However, BiSwap swiftly responded to the incident and resolved the Migrator contract vulnerability, ensuring the safety of user funds.

Security company Fairyproof conducted a brief analysis of the attack, revealing that the BiSwap migration contract lacked essential verifications. Firstly, the unverified migration allowed anyone to replace legitimate migration transactions. Secondly, the unverified parameters of the tokens and pairs enabled the attacker to forge token0, token1, and Pair, facilitating the attack.

The attacker employed a two-step process to carry out the exploit. Initially, they used real pairs and fake tokens to initiate the migration function, leaving users’ LP assets burned within the contract. By adding only two fake tokens, the attacker formed their LP pool, while the user’s assets remained trapped.

In the subsequent step, the attacker exploited the migration function again, this time using the real token0, token1, and the previously generated fake LP. They added the assets left within the contract during the first step as their LP. As a result, the user’s assets were replaced with fake LP assets, redirecting them to the attacker’s LP.

Fairyproof estimated that the attack inflicted approximately $710,251 in damages. However, BiSwap took immediate action upon discovering the vulnerability. The platform promptly detected and resolved the Migrator contract vulnerability, ensuring the safety of user funds.

BiSwap, in response to the incident, issued a statement urging users to refrain from accessing the contract. They assured users that their funds remained secure after the vulnerability had been addressed. By swiftly addressing the issue, BiSwap demonstrated its commitment to safeguarding user assets and maintaining the trust of its community.

The BiSwap LP migration pool attack highlights the importance of robust security measures within the DeFi space. While the incident resulted in significant losses, BiSwap’s quick response in resolving the vulnerability and protecting user funds is commendable. Moving forward, it is crucial for decentralized platforms to implement thorough security audits and verifications to prevent such attacks and maintain the integrity of the DeFi ecosystem.
