Oracle Manipulation Detector
=============================
Advanced detection of price oracle manipulation attacks across all
supported EVM chains. Oracle attacks represent the #1 DeFi exploit
category by value lost ($1B+ in 2024 alone) — this module catches
the full spectrum of oracle-based manipulations.
What it detects:
1. TWAP Oracle Manipulation — Short-term price manipulation that
poisons TWAP oracles (Uniswap V2/V3, Balancer, Curve)
2. Chainlink Oracle Staleness/Age — Stale price feeds, price
deviation beyond sanity bounds, expected vs actual update timing
3. Flash Loan-Backed Price Manipulation — Flash loans used to
artificially move AMM pool prices before interacting with oracles
4. LP Pool Price Divergence — Abnormal price deviation between
correlated pools/pairs (e.g., ETH/USDC vs ETH/DAI)
5. Cross-Exchange Price Divergence — Price gaps between DEX and
CEX rates exceeding healthy arbitrage bounds
6. Sandwich Price Impact — MEV-style manipulation that distorts
oracle reads within a block
7. Lending Protocol Oracle Exploit — Detecting attacks that exploit
manipulated oracle prices (liquidation avoidance, minting
undercollateralized loans)
Competitive advantage:
- Chainlink Labs, RedStone, Pyth detect oracle anomalies post-hoc
for their own feeds (paid enterprise)
- EigenPhi, OtterSec analyze individual attacks (manual, expensive)
- Our solution: free, multi-oracle, multi-chain, real-time, and
integrates with RMI's existing flash_loan_attack_detector module
- Unique TWAP poisoning detection catches sophisticated attacks
that single-block price checkers miss
Usage:
from app.oracle_manipulation_detector import OracleManipulationDetector
detector = OracleManipulationDetector()
report = await detector.scan(blocks_back=50)
for incident in report.incidents:
print(incident.summary())
CLI:
python3 oracle_manipulation_detector.py # Full scan
python3 oracle_manipulation_detector.py --pool 0xabc... # Check a pool
python3 oracle_manipulation_detector.py --tx 0xabc... # Analyze a tx
python3 oracle_manipulation_detector.py --blocks 100 # Last N blocks
python3 oracle_manipulation_detector.py --monitor # Continuous mode
