Missing Access Control
What happened
Crypto DAO’s Pro token contract was exploited on July 28, 2026. SlowMist’s corrected incident record, citing GoPlus Security, estimates attacker profit at approximately $52,000. The widely repeated $8.2 million figure described balances held by related addresses, not the amount stolen in this exploit.
How it happened
The cited analysis attributes the exploit to publicly callable vault functions lacking access checks. The loss estimate is a researcher assessment; related-wallet balances are not a measure of incident loss.
