💸 @X7_Finance Loss: ~6.78 ETH

🔍 Root Cause: In claimRewards(), totalRewards is incremented by (address(this).balance - lastETHBalance) on every call, but lastETHBalance is only updated when claimable > 0. Calling with an empty array leaves claimable at 0, so the same unaccounted balance is repeatedly added to totalRewards, inflating the per-token reward. The attacker also donated ETH to amplify the delta before draining funds.

💸 @BitBayofficial Loss: ~$14K

🔍 Root Cause: The Vault's _withdraw() function transfers its entire token balance when liquidity == 0, without limiting the payout to the user's proportional share. The attacker exploited this flaw by triggering a zero-liquidity state via reposition(), then redeeming just 1 minimal share unit to drain approximately 14,838.47 DAI.

🚨SlowMist TI Alert🚨

💸 @ethervista Loss: ~18.6K

🔍 Root Cause: The EtherVistaPair.swap() function suffers from an integer overflow in its K-invariant check. Since both reserves are uint112, their multiplication overflows and wraps around, allowing the invariant check to pass even when the actual reserve product decreases significantly. The attacker exploited this flaw through an attacker-controlled contract registered as the authorized router, executing two crafted swaps to drain WETH and VISTA from the pool.
