Frontrun attack named "CPIMP" targeting wallets on BSC; users advised to avoid the compromised contract.
Security & Exploits ·
An onchain message posted to the Binance Smart Chain network warned wallet users of a frontrun attack named "CPIMP" targeting BSC transactions. The alert identified a victim proxy address and an attacker address, along with the transaction hash of the attack, and advised users not to engage with the compromised contract.
Frontrun attacks manipulate transaction ordering to execute attacker-controlled transactions ahead of a user's pending transaction, allowing the attacker to extract value before the victim's transaction settles. The message warned that this specific variant exploits this mechanism to steal funds.
The alert does not specify how many wallets or what amount of funds were affected by the attack, nor does it detail how users can verify whether they were targeted or recover losses. No official project statement or broader security advisory from BSC-based platforms has been noted in relation to this incident.
