Aave v3 contracts unaffected, founder responds to exploit incident

Odaily reports that according to monitoring by Stani Kulechov, Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that what was exploited was a third-party external adapter built on top of Aave v3, and the Aave v3 contracts themselves were not affected. The FlashLoopAdapter in the Aave v3 Loop Safe module involved had access control vulnerabilities in its open() and close() functions. The attacker forged Safe authentication and arbitrary module execution to steal approximately 114.09 ETH from two Safe multisig addresses, and repaid approximately 1,300 WETH in debt to unlock collateral.
