Odaily News: Quit, Yuga Labs' Vice President of Blockchain, posted on X platform that as Blur announces it will discontinue its frontend on November 12, users are advised to immediately revoke NFT approvals to Blur smart contracts.Quit stated that their investigation has not yet found any exploitable vulnerabilities in Blur's existing contracts, but the contracts are upgradeable and carry the risk of malicious modification in the future. Currently, NFTs worth at least $10 million remain approved to Blur contracts, and their security depends on the Blur team's operational security capabilities. Quit recommends users revoke relevant approvals through tools such as revoke.cash to guard against potential contract attacks or malicious upgrade risks.

Attack ongoing, Yuga Labs VP reminds users to revoke PPV2-related approvals immediately

— According to Quit monitoring, the Payment Processor V2 (PPV2) exploit attack is still ongoing. Even if users were not affected in the September 25 incident, as long as they have not revoked the relevant approvals, their assets may still be at risk. Users are advised to revoke approvals immediately.About 1 hour ago, an address lost 0.15246 WETH in the next block after accepting a quote and receiving funds. The attacker paid 99% of it as a tip to Titan Builder and kept only about 0.0015 ETH, making it nearly impossible to rescue the funds through frontrunning.Quit suggests that OpenSea could check whether a user still has risky approvals before they accept a quote and require them to revoke them first; when transferring NFTs, it should also check whether the receiving address has any related approvals remaining.

Yuga Labs: Some Stolen ERC721C/1155C NFT Assets Temporarily Unable to Be Claimed

Yuga Labs blockchain vice president Quit posted on X that the asset claim website for NFTs stolen in the previous Payment Processor vulnerability incident has gone live. However, if an NFT collection uses the ERC721C or ERC1155C standard, its holders may temporarily be unable to claim assets through the NFT claim website. A number of NFT collections are currently affected by this issue. The relevant collections controlled by Yuga Labs are expected to be fixed by tomorrow. In the meantime, users can enable "7702 delegate OTC" in the transfer verifier settings, or add the specified Ethereum address and ApeChain address to the 7702 delegated address whitelist to remove the relevant restrictions.

Magic Eden is contacting protocol owner and maintainer Limit Break to study other risk mitigation measures, including pausing protocol transfers, and continues to investigate the actual scope of impact.Users who have previously listed or traded NFTs on the Magic Eden EVM marketplace should revoke the relevant contract approvals on Ethereum, Polygon, and Base networks, and revoke all NFT approvals marked as "approved for all."

Additionally, some NFT collections cannot be claimed at present due to Transfer Validator restrictions, and coordination with the relevant project teams will be handled in the coming days. The claim process involves EIP-7702 delegated wallets, which may cause transaction simulation anomalies or risk warnings on wallets such as Rabby.

Magic Eden responds to vulnerability issue: Discontinued Payment Processor V2 in October 2024; No impact on existing listings.

Magic Eden clarified on the X platform that Payment Processor V2, an NFT trading protocol under Limit Break, was recently exploited. Magic Eden stopped using this protocol in October 2024 and will completely shut down its EVM marketplace in Q1 2026, so this exploit did not affect existing Magic Eden listings. However, NFTs listed on the Magic Eden EVM marketplace from February to October 2024 may have been impacted, and users should revoke the "Approve for All" authorization for the contract on Ethereum, Polygon, and Base. Additionally, Magic Eden stated it is collaborating with Limit Break to investigate and seek further mitigation measures.

NFTs Worth Over $5.7 Million Protected in White Hat Rescue, Payment Processor Vulnerability Leads to Theft of NFTs Across Multiple Projects

Odaily reports: According to monitoring by Quit, at 9 AM EST today, an attacker exploited a vulnerability in Payment Processor V2 to steal 10 Meebits, 50 Otherdeeds, 10 WoW, and 235 Desperate Apewives. More than 12 hours after the incident, no one had reported it, and an investigation subsequently revealed that a large number of NFTs were facing the same risk. Quit stated that after contacting the LimitBreak team, they quickly paused the similarly affected Payment Processor V3. However, V2 could not be paused, and V3 on ApeChain was also temporarily in a state where it could not be paused, so the team carried out a white hat operation, transferring and protecting a total of 23,155 NFTs worth over $5.7 million. The team later discovered that the vulnerability could also be used in reverse to steal WETH, with approximately 660 WETH at risk, but these could not be recovered in time. Currently, all rescued NFTs have been transferred to secure addresses, and holders will be able to claim their assets in the future after revoking approvals for the vulnerable contracts.

ZachXBT Slams zkSNARKs: Calls It an Ordinals Scam, Raised $17 Million With Zero Practical Utility

On-chain analyst ZachXBT (@zachxbt) disclosed that the recently launched 10K PFP NFT project zkSNARKs on the Zcash chain is allegedly a rug pull. The project attracted a total of 16,971 bids via a blind auction, ultimately completing the allocation of 8,000 items at a clearing price of 1.5 ZEC (approximately $2,190). Total trading volume reached 25,305 ZEC (approximately $36.94 million), and refunds totaling 13,309 ZEC (approximately $19.43 million) have been progressively returned. ZachXBT noted that the project raised approximately $17 million, while incorporating a 10% team allocation, 5% royalties, and a minting fee of around $2,000, yet offered zero utility. This mirrors the typical "rug pull" strategy commonly seen in Ordinals-style projects.
