SlowMist: Beware of Solana Wallet Owner Authority Tampering Attack

2025.12.03 19:39:35

On December 3rd, the SlowMist Security Team published a security advisory detailing a phishing attack targeting a user. The attacker transferred the user’s account owner permissions, leaving the victim unable to revoke authorizations or access their assets—even though funds appeared normal, they were no longer under the user’s control. - Over $3 million in assets were stolen. - An additional $2 million locked in a DeFi protocol (initially untransferable) was later rescued with support from the respective DeFi platform. This was not a traditional “authorization theft”; instead, the attacker seized core owner permissions, blocking the victim from sending transactions, revoking access, or managing DeFi assets. The attacker exploited two counterintuitive tactics to trick the user into signing: 1. Wallets typically simulate transaction execution during signing and display fund changes—but the attacker’s crafted transaction had no fund shifts, hiding malicious activity. 2. Traditional Ethereum EOA accounts are private key-controlled, so many users are unaware Solana allows modifying account ownership. SlowMist advises users to exercise extreme caution when signing transactions or authorizations: always verify there are no hidden actions altering high-risk permissions like owner access.

Security Alert: Users who have previously traded NFTs on Magic Eden’s Ethereum marketplace are advised to revoke authorizations for the Limit Break contract.

RevokeCash has issued a security alert, warning that users who previously traded NFTs on Magic Eden’s Ethereum marketplace likely granted authorization to Limit Break’s Payment Processor contract, which carries a known vulnerability, and recommends revoking that authorization. Yesterday, Magic Eden officials noted that NFTs currently listed on the platform are not affected by the vulnerability, while those listed via its EVM marketplace roughly between February and October 2024 may be impacted; listings after October 2024 are in principle unaffected. The platform is in contact with protocol owner and maintainer Limit Break to explore additional risk mitigation measures, including pausing protocol transfers, and will continue investigating the full scope of the impact. Users who have listed or traded NFTs on Magic Eden’s EVM marketplace should revoke related contract authorizations on the Ethereum, Polygon, and Base networks. They can filter their addresses via revoke.cash and revoke all NFT authorizations marked as "approved for all". Additionally, Yuga Labs’ Vice President of Blockchain, Quit, stated that the asset claim website for NFT theft incidents tied to the Payment Processor vulnerability is now live. Affected users whose NFTs were successfully recovered by Yuga Labs can now file claims, but must first revoke authorization for the Payment Processor.

AI-themed token IMD on Ethereum mainnet hits an all-time high as its market cap surges past $39 million.

According to GMGN data, Ethereum mainnet AI-themed token IMD has hit a new all-time high market cap of over $39 million, and has since pulled back to $31 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of $2.1 million. IMD is an older token on the Ethereum mainnet, having evolved from a chain game pet token to an experimental project featuring "community-provided computing power, AI labor, and token deflation." Its predecessor was Fren Pet, an electronic pet game launched on Base in 2023, later renamed VIBE, and rebranded as IMD in May 2026. Its current narrative centers on building an "AI cooperative": users holding qualified NFTs can connect their computers and Claude/Codex quotas to the network, enabling AI agents to collaboratively write code, audit smart contracts, and develop applications, with rewards distributed for completed projects. The token uses the POOL4 mechanism, where a portion of IMD is allocated from transactions—most of which is burned, with the remainder distributed to stakers and nodes. BlockBeats reminds users that token prices are highly volatile, so investment requires caution.

Yuga Labs' Vice President of Blockchain stated that the asset claim website for the NFT theft incident linked to the Payment Processor vulnerability has officially launched.
