Economic-State Manipulation Vulnerabilities in DeFi
Original title: Price is Only the Symptom: Understanding and Analyzing Economic-State Manipulation Vulnerabilities in DeFi
ESM study of 276 attacks reveals limited coverage by existing detectors.
Comprehensive empirical study curates 276 real-world attacks and 91 Code4rena findings. A taxonomy of four categories and eleven subcategories is developed for ESM vulnerabilities. Existing detection approaches show limited coverage, with the best identifying only 50.4% of attacks.
- Taxonomy: 4 categories, 11 subcategories
- Dataset: 276 attacks and 91 audits
- Best detector covers 50.4% of attacks
- False negatives from pattern reliance
- Focus on economic-state integrity
