An attacker exploited Balancer V1 by routing over $1 billion in flash-loan assets through Aave, using borrowed assets as collateral to borrow an additional $788 million. The attacker then exploited Balancer V1, causing a loss of about $250,000, while Aave suffered no loss as all positions were closed within the same transactions. This exploit highlights how periodic balance checks can miss large asset flows that disappear before review. Balancer V1 is legacy, unmaintained code with no pause mechanism, and a protocol wind-down plan has been approved by Balancer holders.
