A Cross-Chain Bridge Exploit is an attack that leverages a weakness in a cross-chain bridge to illegally transfer or drain digital assets. This type of exploit typically targets smart contract vulnerabilities, cryptographic flaws, or compromised validator mechanisms. Successful exploits lead to significant financial losses and disrupt inter-blockchain communication.
