VERDICT —OUT OF SCOPE
Root cause is private-key / signer compromise — the on-chain contract behaved exactly as written. No pre-deployment source audit or bytecode review reaches the key-custody perimeter; this is operational-security territory (HSM/MPC hygiene, key rotation, hot-wallet isolation). Bytecode would show nothing wrong.

Forensic narrative
Ordinals eco-wallet Xverse tweeted: Xverse has fixed a bug that caused wallet helpers to be stored unencrypted on local devices, and all users should update the Chrome extension to the latest version. The risk of this bug is minimal if it is confirmed that no helper words leave the user's local device. However, if users are concerned about the threat, they can migrate their assets to a newly generated wallet. This error does not affect Xverse iOS and Android apps. Attack method (per SlowMist): Mnemonic leaked. Reported loss: -.
