Aperture Finance Exploit Traced to Proxy Module Vulnerability

Aperture Finance identified the technical root cause of a recent security exploit. The attack targeted a **peripheral proxy contract** used for liquidity aggregation, not the core system. **Key Details:** - Attacker exploited an input validation bypass - Malicious calldata was injected through the vulnerability - The breach was **isolated to the proxy module only** - Core liquidity management engine remains secure and unaffected This contrasts with earlier speculation from November 2024 that suggested oracle price manipulation as the attack vector.
