What happened

Quick Summary

On April 4, 2025, AIRWA token on BNB Smart Chain (BSC) was exploited for approximately $34,000 due to a misconfigured public setBurnRate() function.

Details of the Exploit

The vulnerability stemmed from the setBurnRate() function in the AIRWA token contract being publicly accessible. The attacker called setBurnRate(980)—an extremely high burn percentage—and then executed a transfer(pair, 0). This combination caused the pair’s tokens to be burned, manipulating the liquidity pool and allowing the attacker to extract value.
