Steakhouse Financial DeFi Protocol Flagged With Critical Security Vulnerabilities

A security audit of Steakhouse Financial, a multi-chain yield-aggregation platform with $3 billion in total value locked across Ethereum and Layer-2 networks, has identified 23 vulnerabilities as of September 2026. The review of production code version 2.4.1 uncovered three critical flaws, including a re-entrancy bug in the vault withdrawal function and an economic logic attack vector, either of which could enable unlimited fund extraction. Additional high and medium severity issues were found across smart contracts, governance mechanisms, cross-chain bridge interactions, and operational monitoring. The protocol received an overall risk score of 7.8 out of 10, classified as High, driven largely by risks from upgradeable proxies, external oracle dependencies, and complex multi-strategy rebalancing. Auditors have outlined a prioritized remediation roadmap to address each identified attack surface before further exploitation risk materializes.
