**Yearn yETH pool drained (~$9M) via cached-balance desync exploit** — A flaw in the pool's cached virtual balances (packed_vbs[]) allowed an attacker to desynchronize state, repeatedly poison virtual balances via flash-loan deposit/withdraw cycles, reset on-chain supply to zero, then trigger a flawed "first deposit" minting path by depositing 16 wei to mint massively inflated yETH and convert it to underlying LSDs and ETH before laundering funds.
