Gnosis Safe Wallet Hacked, $7.8M Worth of rsETH Stolen
According to CoinDesk, a Gnosis Safe wallet on Ethereum was attacked, with approximately 2,900 rsETH (valued at around $7.8 million) transferred. Security firms BlockSec, Blockaid, and SlowMist pointed out that the root cause of the attack lies in an authorization check flaw within the wallet-approved Multicall contract—the contract is intended to verify caller permissions, but the vulnerability allows anyone to bypass validation simply by targeting the contract itself.
The attacker subsequently moved the rsETH into a liquidity pool based on the valueless token "Permissionless Attacker Token." An automated bot named "yoink" paid approximately $47,000 to frontrun the transaction, transferring 2,882 rsETH to a separate address. rsETH issuer Kelp DAO stated that its smart contracts are secure and rsETH is fully collateralized, and has implemented a 24-hour pause measure on the relevant addresses.
