A Liquidity Pool Vulnerability describes a weakness in the smart contract code or economic design of a decentralized exchange liquidity pool that can be exploited for malicious gain. These weaknesses might allow attackers to drain funds, manipulate asset prices, or unfairly extract value from liquidity providers. Such flaws often arise from reentrancy issues, oracle manipulation, or incorrect calculation logic. These vulnerabilities pose a direct threat to capital within DeFi protocols.
