A self-described white hat hacker has uncovered a “multi-million dollar vulnerability” in the bridge linking Ethereum and Arbitrum Nitro and received a 400 Ether (ETH) bounty for their find.

Known as riptide on Twitter, the hacker described the exploit as the use of an initializing function to set their own bridge address, which would hijack all incoming ETH deposits from those trying to bridge funds from Ethereum to Arbitrum Nitro.

Riptide explained the exploit in a Medium post on Tuesday:

“We could either selectively target large ETH deposits to remain undetected for a longer period of time, siphon up every single deposit that comes through the bridge, or wait and just front-run the next massive ETH deposit.”

The hack could have potentially netted tens or even hundreds of millions worth of ETH, as the largest deposit riptide recorded in the inbox was 168,000 ETH worth over $225 million, and typical deposits ranged from 1000 to 5000 ETH in a 24-hour period, worth between $1.34 to $6.7 million.

Despite the earning potential from the ill-gotten gains, riptide was thankful that the “extremely based Arbitrum team” provided a 400 ETH bounty, worth over $536,500. However, they added later on Twitter that such a find “should be eligible for a max bounty,” which is worth $2 million.

No big deal just bridging a cool $470mm through the same Inbox contract Definitely should be eligible for a max bounty https://t.co/w7S58QNQZu

Neither Arbitrum nor its creator company OffChain Labs have publicly commented on the exploit; Cointelegraph contacted OffChain Labs for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Arbitrum is a layer-2 Optimistic Rollup solution for Ethereum, clustering batches of transactions before submitting them to the Ethereum network in an effort to minimize network congestion and save on fees. Arbitrum Nitro launched on Aug. 31st, an upgrade aimed to simplify communication between Arbitrum and Ethereum, as well as increasing its transaction throughput at lower fees.

Similar style bridge hacks have been successful for exploiters this year, notably, the $100 million stolen from the Horizon Bridge in June and the recent Nomad token bridge incident in August, which saw $190 million drained by the original and “copycat” hackers repeating the exploit.
