SuperRare $730,000 exploit was easily preventable

SuperRare's staking contract lost around $731,000 in RARE tokens in an exploit on Monday, which experts say a basic testing step could have prevented. Cyvers identified the exploit, and the flaw was a logic error in a function meant to let only specific addresses modify the Merkle root, which determines user staking balances. Cointelegraph verified that OpenAI's o3 model identified the flaw when tested, and co-founder Jonathan Perkins said no core protocol funds were lost, 61 wallets appear affected, and affected users will be made whole.
