Forensic narrative

The Arbitrum-based TreasureDAO NFT trading market was exposed and discovered a vulnerability. According to SlowMist analysis, the core of this vulnerability lies in the lack of judgment that the incoming _quantity parameter is not 0 before the ERC-721 standard NFT transfer, resulting in ERC -721 Standard NFT can be transferred directly and the cost of purchasing NFT is calculated as 0 when calculating the price. Hours after it was stolen, developers confirmed that hackers had begun returning stolen “Smol Brains” and other NFTs. Attack method (per SlowMist): Unchecked Input Data. Reported loss: -.
