Deep Tide TechFlow News. On April 29, 2026, Dark Web Informer reported that the decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket is suspected to have been hacked. The threat actor xorcat posted more than 300,000 data records and a corresponding vulnerability exploitation toolkit on a well-known cybercrime forum. The date the data was extracted was April 27, 2026.

It is alleged that the attacker extracted data through undisclosed API endpoints, pagination bypasses, and CORS error misconfigurations in the Polymarket Gamma and CLOB APIs. The leaked content includes: 10,000 users’ complete personal information (including names, proxy wallets, and base addresses), 4,111 comments, 1,000 report records (including 58 ETH addresses and an admin authentication address identifier), 48,536 Gamma market metadata entries, more than 250,000 fixed product market maker addresses for active CLOB markets, and social graph data for 9,000 followers.

The toolkit includes proof-of-concept code for multiple vulnerabilities, involving CVE-2025-62718 (Axios NO_PROXY bypass; CVSS 9.9; can trigger server-side request forgery), CVE-2024-51479 (Next.js middleware authentication bypass; CVSS 7.5), and CORS error misconfigurations. In addition, the toolkit also includes automated continuous data-pulling scripts and a complete red team report (including MITRE ATT&CK mappings).

xorcat stated that Polymarket had not set up a bug bounty program and had not received any notification in advance. As of now, Polymarket has not issued any public response.
