SlowMist: The Asterix attack is similar to those of Flooring Protocol and BMP; attackers are looking for common vulnerabilities.

CoinFeed reported on June 9th that Yu Xian, founder of SlowMist, stated that the attack on Asterix was similar to those on Flooring Protocol and BMP yesterday (one using DN404 and the other BT404, both using underlying protocols), involving overflow and reuse of high-level NFT ID shift operations. It seems the attackers were looking for common vulnerabilities. Reportedly, Asterix disclosed an attack yesterday affecting its ASTX token contract, stating that its Uniswap v4 liquidity pool was attacked on June 8th, with attackers stealing approximately 30 ETH through 242 transactions. The vulnerability stemmed from an early version of DN404 lacking checks on token ID restrictions for approved operations. Attackers exploited outdated token approvals, repeatedly selling tokens in the pool to obtain ETH, then using forged IDs to withdraw the same amount of tokens, repeating this cycle until the funds were exhausted.
