Hacks
Date: Aug 12, 2021
Protocol: DAO Maker Vesting
Amount: $7m
Classification: Access Control
Technique: Improper Access Control
DAO Maker's vesting system was exploited when the init() function lacked access control, allowing an attacker to reset parameters on 4 token contracts (DERC, CPD, CAPS, SHO) and drain tokens via emergencyExit. Stolen tokens were swapped on DEXes, causing significant price impact.

Target Type: DeFi Protocol
Date: Sep 4, 2021
Protocol: DAO Maker Vesting
Amount: $4m
Classification: Access Control
Technique: Improper Access Control
On September 4, 2021, DAO Maker's vesting contracts were exploited via an unauthenticated init() function allowing contract reset and ownership claim. The attacker used emergencyExit() to extract ~$4M from vesting contracts for DERC, CPD, CAPS, and SHO.

Date: Sep 5, 2022
Protocol: DAO Swap
Amount: $580,000
Classification: Access Control
Technique: Improper Access Control
DaoSwap's reward system had a flaw allowing users to set themselves as their own inviter. Attackers exploited this access control vulnerability to gain unauthorized mining rewards by claiming referral bonuses.
