Blockaid flagged an active exploit on an unnamed Base vault after a newly whitelisted contract enabled borrowing of aBaswstETH and diversion of aTokens, draining about $2.02M across roughly four transactions. The ongoing nature of the attack heightens near-term risk aversion around Base DeFi and smart-contract whitelisting controls, potentially pressuring liquidity and user activity on related Ethereum L2 ecosystems.
