Lumi Finance Attacked, Losing Approximately $270,000

Lumi Finance was attacked on July 13, resulting in a loss of approximately $270,000. The vulnerability originated from the validateUserOp function in the Sodium smart account contract (ERC-4337) on Arbitrum, which contained a logical flaw when calling _validateSignature to verify signatures. The attacker passed their address as the signer parameter, causing ECDSA.tryRecover to fail without reverting, and instead called the isValidSignature function in the attack contract, successfully passing the verification. The attacker exploited this vulnerability to execute a Token approve operation during the UserOperation verification, obtaining approval to access ERC20 tokens from multiple smart accounts without the payer's consent.
