Trader Rune: PaperTrade Documentation Mentions Protocol-Level BBO Price Manipulation "Vulnerability" Risk

Odaily reports: Crypto trader Rune stated on X platform that PaperTrade's official documentation has actually disclosed a "vulnerability" risk in the protocol-level pricing mechanism. According to the document screenshots he shared, attackers can exploit the BBO (Best Bid and Offer) of the Hyperliquid order book for price manipulation. This risk involves unresolved price manipulation paths, contract economic mechanisms and risk exposure controls, as well as operational-level protective measures and permission management mechanisms.

Additionally, Rune retweeted a post by community user boblob, which revealed that two wallets were suspected of actively exploiting and "attacking" the PaperTrade platform, conducting trades worth approximately $20 million that briefly caused ETH price fluctuations of about 10-20 basis points on the Hyperliquid platform. boblob further added that the obvious issues currently present in the PaperTrade protocol need to be fixed as soon as possible, otherwise they may affect the protocol's long-term sustainability.
