An old MakerDAO auction keeper contract was exploited, allowing an attacker to steal 200 Ether (ETH), valued at over $500,000. The vulnerability was due to missing access controls in a specific contract function, identified by CertiK. This contract was linked to MakerDAO's March 2020 "Black Thursday" liquidation crisis and held unsettled auction funds. The stolen ETH was laundered through Tornado Cash. Although this contract is no longer part of MakerDAO's core system, other legacy contracts may still be vulnerable to similar attacks, posing ongoing risks to stored funds.
