Forensic narrative

Onyx protocol suffered a security breach, resulting in a loss of over $3.8 million. The attacker exploited a known precision issue in the Compound V2 code. Additionally, the NFTLiquidation contract failed to properly validate untrusted user input, allowing the attacker to inflate the self-liquidation reward amount, which further worsened the losses. Attack method (per SlowMist): Contract Vulnerability. Reported loss: $ 3,800,000.
