ChainCatcher news, the browser security plugin Pocket Universe indicates that a new vulnerability has been discovered in the old Opensea contract, which can be used to steal users' NFTs. Once a transaction is signed, the wallet may be emptied. It can steal any NFT listed by users on Opensea before May 2022 (i.e., before the Seaport upgrade).

Previously, Opensea used the Wyvern protocol to match orders, granting the proxy contract the permission to withdraw NFTs when users listed them (i.e., the usual setApprovalForAll permission). Therefore, this proxy contract has the right to withdraw NFTs listed by users before May 2022. The new exploit will entice users to sign a transaction, allowing attackers to gain ownership of the user's proxy contract, thereby having the right to withdraw the user's NFTs. (Source link)
