This defect permits actions, such as token transfers or contract modifications, without the legitimate owner’s explicit consent. Such flaws stem from incorrect coding of conditional statements that govern access or execution rights. The presence of these vulnerabilities can result in significant asset loss or unauthorized control over protocol functions.
