Codebase Attack

Definition

A codebase attack involves exploiting vulnerabilities directly within a software’s underlying programming code. In the context of digital assets, this typically targets smart contracts, blockchain protocols, or exchange software. Attackers seek flaws like reentrancy bugs, integer overflows, or logical errors to manipulate system behavior or steal funds. Such exploits can compromise the integrity and security of decentralized applications and their associated assets.
