AlkemiEarn's borrow accepted a borrowed amount and updated the borrower's recorded debt against the live utilisation ratio. The attacker opened a flash-loaned balance, borrowed at a temporarily low utilisation, and walked the borrow out before the next block.

DeFiHackLabs reconstructs the sequence against the live Ethereum state; total loss is captured in the PoC.

What would have prevented it: a borrow that prices the utilisation against a multi-block average rather than the live state.
