慢霧：Inverse Finance遭遇閃電貸攻擊簡析:據慢霧安全團隊鏈上情報，Inverse Finance遭遇閃電貸攻擊,損失53.2445WBTC和99,976.29USDT。慢霧安全團隊以簡訊的形式將攻擊原理分享如下：

1.攻擊者先從AAVE閃電貸借出27,000WBTC,然后存225WBTC到CurveUSDT-WETH-WBTC的池子獲得5,375.5個crv3crypto和4,906.7yvCurve-3Crypto,隨后攻擊者把獲得的2個憑證存入Inverse Finance獲得245,337.73個存款憑證anYvCrv3Crypto。

2.接下來攻擊者在CurveUSDT-WETH-WBTC的池子進行了一次swap,用26,775個WBTC兌換出了75,403,376.18USDT,由于anYvCrv3Crypto的存款憑證使用的價格計算合約除了采用Chainlink的喂價之外還會根據CurveUSDT-WETH-WBTC的池子的WBTC,WETH,USDT的實時余額變化進行計算所以在攻擊者進行swap之后anYvCrv3Crypto的價格被拉高從而導致攻擊者可以從合約中借出超額的10,133,949.1個DOLA。

3.借貸完DOLA之后攻擊者在把第二步獲取的75,403,376.18USDT再次swap成26,626.4個WBTC,攻擊者在把10,133,949.1DOLAswap成9,881,355個3crv,之后攻擊者通過移除3crv的流動性獲得10,099,976.2個USDT。

4.最后攻擊者把去除流動性的10,000,000個USDTswap成451.0個WBT,歸還閃電貸獲利離場。

針對該事件，慢霧給出以下防范建議：本次攻擊的原因主要在于使用了不安全的預言機來計算LP價格，慢霧安全團隊建議可以參考Alpha Finance關于獲取公平LP價格的方法。[2022/6/16 4:32:58]
