Squid: The security incident is unrelated to the Squid core protocol and contracts; all Squid users and integrators are unaffected.

Mars Finance reports that Squid issued a statement on the X platform stating that this incident is unrelated to the Squid core protocol and contracts, and all Squid users and integrations are unaffected, requiring no action. A third-party Gnosis Safe module on the Base and Ethereum networks was attacked, resulting in a loss of approximately $3.2 million. The vulnerable contract is verified on Basescan under the name “SquidRouterModule,” but this contract was not built, deployed, or operated by Squid; it is a third-party smart wallet product that chooses to integrate Squid and other protocols, and has no connection to Squid. The attack method involves this third-party module accepting a constant string provided by the caller as a message security proof, which is publicly visible in the verified contract code. After input by the attacker, it can execute arbitrary calldata arrays, allowing theft of funds at will. The victim’s Safe wallet added this problematic contract as a trusted Safe Module, enabling it to control any tokens within Safe without signatures. Squid’s own routing contract (0xce16...D666) has a different architecture and is unaffected; Squid user funds, authorizations, and integrations are completely secure. Early reports or mentions of “SquidRouter” in the contract verification name on Basescan should be accurately described as: a third-party SquidRouterModule was attacked, not Squid’s Router contract. Although the contract name is the same as Squid, it is not part of Squid’s code. Squid is continuously monitoring the situation and will update information if there are significant developments.

This blow was clearly delivered, but the brand image still took some damage.

The attacker's method is quite interesting; they can even trick modules with publicly available constants.

The Base ecosystem has been a bit turbulent lately.

SquidRouterModule this name can indeed be easily misunderstood

Blaming third-party modules, this naming is too misleading.
