Aave attributed the losses to an "illiquid market" and introduced the "Aave Shield" feature, which blocks swaps that affect the price by over 25%.
In contrast, CoW Swap's analysis highlighted issues such as outdated gas limits rejecting more profitable offers, the best solver winning two auctions but failing to execute them on the blockchain, and data suggesting the transaction originated from a private mempool. link
