What Is the Risk of an “Oracle Manipulation Attack”?

An oracle manipulation attack occurs when an attacker corrupts the price feed data provided to a smart contract, usually by temporarily manipulating the price on a low-liquidity decentralized exchange (DEX). If the smart contract relies on this manipulated price, the attacker can execute profitable but fraudulent transactions, such as draining a lending pool or triggering unfair liquidations.
