DeFi｜Flash Loans
What they are: In many attacks, attackers use flash loans to obtain large amounts of funds and manipulate oracles that rely only on the spot price of a single pool.
How to understand them: Flash loans are not vulnerabilities in themselves; in attacks, they are simply used to amplify the amount of funds involved. The real problem usually lies in the attacked protocol’s price source or contract logic.
Practical tip: When evaluating a protocol, pay attention to where its prices come from. If it relies only on the spot price of a single DEX pool, it may be vulnerable to flash loan attacks.
