What happened
According to an announcement from Equilibria Finance, a vulnerability was discovered in the ePENDLE auto-compounder contract on Ethereum, resulting in a loss of approximately 13.36 ETH. The issue stemmed from the stk-ePENDLE contract on Ethereum mainnet not being configured as non-transferable. The attacker used flash loans via Balancer to acquire ePENDLE, staked it into stk-ePENDLE, and then repeatedly transferred stk-ePENDLE across multiple addresses. Each transfer triggered a reward claim, enabling the attacker to drain the unclaimed rewards from the contract.
