Flash Loan Attack Vector Analysis: Sentora Curator

Flash Loan Attack Vector Analysis: Sentora Curator

Target Protocol: Sentora Curator (TVL: $2368.3M)

Security Audit & Vector Analysis: Flash Loan Resilience

Target Protocol: Sentora Curator (Vault Management & Curation Architecture)

Scope: Flash Loan Vulnerability Analysis, Price Oracle Dependency, Liquidity Pool Interactions

Assessment Type: Technical Risk & Architecture Security Analysis


1. Executive Summary

This report evaluates the resilience of the Sentora Curator protocol architecture against flash loan-assisted attack vectors. As vault curation protocols interact heavily with multi-asset pools, dynamic rebalancing mechanisms, and external pricing feeds, they present attractive surfaces for atomic economic exploitation via high-capital single-transaction interventions (flash loans).

The overall risk assessment identifies potential exposure points primarily around real-time valuation updating, liquidity allocation latency, and oracle dependency delays. Implementing time-weighted pricing, strict slippage boundaries, and flash-loan-aware state checks will mitigate these attack surfaces.
