Swell DAO admin key leak risk could threaten 2,500 ETH if malicious upgrades proceed

Security researcher Spreek warned of a suspected leak of Swell DAO's admin keys, potentially putting about 2,500 Ether (ETH) tied to its liquid-staking token swETH and restaking token rswETH at risk. Four malicious upgrade contracts have been deployed, artificially raising the tokens' net asset value by up to 1% per hour, but these upgrades have not yet been executed through the required multisignature process. Swell is investigating with security partners and has taken precautions, confirming no ETH has been withdrawn through deposit or withdrawal contracts. Users are advised no action is needed currently, but the threat depends on whether the malicious upgrades are executed.

The Swell DAO's swETH and rswETH tokens are under scrutiny following a warning about a potential risk involving 2,500 ETH.
