Incident disclosure 2022-06-09

Summary

  1. 1.
    We deployed various bond contracts during our launch and one bond deployed in January 10th was not properly disabled. This allowed an attacker to deposit $METIS tokens into the unused bond contract and mint $MAIA.
  2. 2.
    Upon this issue being detected by our team, the bond was promptly deactivated and all deployed contracts were revised, no other irregularities were detected.

Details of Incident

The attacker first interacted with the bond on 2022-04-25 until this flaw was detected on 2022-06-09. A total of 3983 $MAIA were minted for 1430 $METIS through 17 deposits.
This issue was able to stay undetected for so long due to us migrating from our original Treasury contract which managed bonds to the our current Treasury - Gnosis Multisig Contract.
A very rough estimate, if all the Maia was priced at $23 USDC and Metis at $40. It would mean that the attacker profited $34409 USDC from this exploit via daily redeem + sells to the pool in batches of around 5 $MAIA.
Several accounts were involved in this some interacting with the bonds, others only with the proceeds of the sales.
We are still investigating further and will keep you notified along the way.

Details of Fix

Fixes made:
  1. 1.
    Pull bonds’ depositor rights from treasury contract.
  2. 2.
    Revised all of treasury’s permissions.

Next Steps

Decide on the best course of action via governance. This will be split into the two phases, initializing a discussion in discord and then open a proposal via governance.
