On November 2022, – Polynomial was exploited in a input validation, resulting in approximately $1.4K in losses. That makes the – Polynomial exploit the 437th largest DeFi incident out of 690 documented in our archive.
Attack Mechanics: How the – Polynomial Input Validation Played Out
Exploit Class Applied to – Polynomial
The – Polynomial incident on November 18, 2022 is classified as a Input Validation. The contract accepts an attacker-controlled input it should have rejected. In the full archive, – Polynomial is 1 of 21 documented input validation incidents.
– Polynomial in Context
At $1.4K, the – Polynomial exploit is a minor (<$1M) event compared to the largest same-class incident in our archive — OrbitChain (2024) at $81M.
Prior Input Validation Before – Polynomial
The nearest input validation incident before – Polynomial was – SheepFarm, 2 days earlier on November 16, 2022. The same exploit class surfaced again within the input validation attack surface.
– Polynomial Vulnerability Signature
The primary source categorises the – Polynomial exploit specifically as “No input validation”. This narrower label is entity-specific: it reflects how the – Polynomial contract failed, rather than the broad input validation pattern alone.
Impact & Recovery for – Polynomial
– Polynomial Loss Figure
The – Polynomial exploit caused $1,400 in losses — a minor (<$1M) incident and the 53rd largest of 129 documented in 2022.
Where – Polynomial Sits Among Input Validation Attacks
Ranked by loss size, – Polynomial is the 15th largest of 21 input validation incidents documented. That puts the – Polynomial loss below the class average of $5.88M.
Timeline Since the – Polynomial Incident
The – Polynomial exploit occurred 3.4 years ago (1,243 days). The contract, its fork-block, and the attack transaction remain on-chain and forensically reproducible.
