Wasabi Protocol has suffered a multi-chain exploit leading to losses of over $5 million across Ethereum, Base, Berachain, and Blast. Reports indicate the attacker used the deployer wallet to grant ADMIN_ROLE to a malicious helper contract, which then performed a UUPS upgrade of perp vaults and the LongPool. This upgrade replaced core logic with a harmful implementation that allowed funds to be drained across connected chains. The incident highlights risks in privileged access control and upgradeable smart contract designs in DeFi systems.
