Analysis1 min read

New Market Trading's per-user accounting exposed a balance index that could be re-set by a perimeter function gated only by a missing access control. The attacker reset users' balances to inflated values and then called withdraw() against them.

DeFiHackLabs reconstructs the sequence against the live BNB Chain state; total loss is approximately $3.98M across 88 Gnosis Safes on Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum. The drain is in 0xa26dfe8f... on BscScan (linked references in the README).

What would have prevented it: an onlyOwner modifier on the balance-reset path, or any perimeter function with access control.
