What the Attacker Needed to Succeed
Understanding the prerequisites for this type of attack helps auditors identify protocols that are most at risk and helps developers build better defenses.
What Auditors Should Check
If you're auditing a protocol with similar architecture to Maestro, these are the critical security checks that could have prevented this incident (October 2023).
- Verify all logic paths related to Arbitrary External Call are guarded by proper access controls and input validation - see the Delegatecall & Call Injection Attacks attack class for patterns
- Review privileged functions (owner, admin, governance) for potential abuse vectors - centralization risks should be documented and bounded with timelocks or multi-sigs
