SlowMist: Yapeswap exploited for $21.9K via zero-quorum governance

  • —Losses from the Yapeswap exploit are estimated at about $21.9K
  • —A proposal with 0.000055% of votes transferred feeToSetter rights on YapeFactory
  • —The attacker deployed a malicious Registry contract returning a fake latestVault() address
  • —YapeFactory, YapePair and YapeWrapper contracts were affected
Why it matters: The case shows how a zero-quorum governance setup lets an attacker seize critical DeFi protocol permissions with almost no capital.
