The cross-chain bridge Multichain announced that it had been notified of a vulnerability in its bridging router affecting several tokens. Security firm Dedaub reported to Multichain that users who had approved permissions for WETH, PERI, OMT, WBNB, MATIC, and AVAX on Multichain’s bridging router were at risk of hackers draining their funds.
Multichain has also reported that all assets on its V2 Bridge and V3 Router are safe and that users can carry out cross-chain transactions as usual. The protocol also informed users that it would release the technical details of the bug in a subsequent blog post.
