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 MSCST, these are the critical security checks that could have prevented this incident (December 2025).
- Verify all logic paths related to Atomic Sandwich Attack are guarded by proper access controls and input validation - see the Frontrunning & Sandwich 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
