Resolv’s USR stablecoin minting mechanism was exploited to mint approximately $80 million in unauthorized tokens, with the attacker extracting $24.5 million in real value by converting to ETH. Root cause specifics remain medium confidence pending an official post-mortem; the attack pattern maps to access control bypass and input validation failure in smart contract minting logic (CWE-284, CWE-20, CWE-682). Organizations with treasury exposure to Resolv or DeFi counterparties should assess and quantify direct holdings, and security leaders should ensure DeFi protocol dependencies are included in third-party risk programs with smart contract audit requirements defined.
