1. Executive Summary

Morpho Blue is a non-custodial, immutable lending primitive that enables the creation of isolated lending markets with user-defined parameters:

• Collateral Token
• Loan Token
• Oracle Contract
• Interest Rate Model (IRM)
• Liquidation Loan-to-Value (LLTV)

Unlike traditional pooled lending protocols (e.g., Aave, Compound), Morpho Blue offloads risk management from the core protocol to market creators and vault managers (e.g., MetaMorpho).

While the core contract (Morpho.sol) exhibits a minimal attack surface due to its immutability and simple design, yield optimization strategies built on top face specific technical and operational risks related to oracle reliability, interest rate curves, and collateral illiquidity.

2. Identified Risk & Attack Vectors

A. Oracle Manipulation & Latency Exploitation

• Mechanism: Isolated markets allow arbitrary oracle implementation choices. If a market uses a low-liquidity decentralized exchange (DEX) spot price feed or a single-source oracle without time-weighted average price (TWAP) or lag detection:
  • An attacker can manipulate the spot price via flash loans.
  • Over-collateral
