What happened
Attacker exploited a fee parameter error in Glide Finance's contract. The team had changed a fee parameter post-audit from 1,000 to 10,000 but failed to update the corresponding value in the contract code, leaving the incorrect parameter at 1,000 and allowing attackers to drain funds via incorrectly-calculated fees.
