A liquidity pool exploit is a malicious act targeting vulnerabilities within a decentralized exchange’s liquidity pool, leading to the unauthorized removal or manipulation of pooled digital assets. These exploits frequently leverage smart contract flaws, economic design weaknesses, or flash loan attacks. The objective is typically to drain funds from the pool, causing significant losses to liquidity providers. Such events undermine confidence in decentralized finance security.
