How Does Slippage Tolerance on a DEX Affect a User’s Vulnerability to Sandwich Attacks?

Slippage tolerance is the maximum percentage price change a user is willing to accept between the time they submit a transaction and the time it executes. A high slippage tolerance makes a user highly vulnerable to sandwich attacks because it gives the attacker a larger price range to exploit.

A low slippage tolerance limits the attacker's profit, potentially making the attack uneconomical.
