Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

A flash-loan-funded oracle attack inflated a CoreVault redemption roughly 33×, draining the InsurancePool and netting the attacker 160.26 BNB (~$112.2K) after the trade was reversed. The exploit relied on manipulated price feeds to overstate the redemption value, with the flash loan supplying the capital needed to move the oracle within a single transaction. The incident highlights persistent oracle and redemption-logic risk in vault-style DeFi protocols, where a single mispriced read can drain shared backstops like InsurancePool. Watch for a post-mortem from CoreVault detailing the oracle source and any reimbursement plan for InsurancePool depositors, plus whether the attacker's 160.26 BNB is returned or held.
