🚨 BREAKING: XRPL Fixes Critical Bug That Could Have Threatened XRP’s 100B Supply Cap! 🛡️
A major security issue has been patched on the $XRP Ledger, preventing a potential exploit that could have allowed attackers to obtain XRP without paying the correct amount.
⚠️ What happened?
The vulnerability reportedly existed since 2015 and affected xrpld v3.4.0 and earlier versions. It was reported through a bug bounty program on September 22, 2026.
🔍 How could it work?
An attacker could create multiple DEX accounts and place unusual offers involving huge XRP amounts. A calculation overflow during payment processing could make the required payment appear much smaller than it should be.
🔧 The fix: Developers released xrpld v3.4.1 on September 25, 2026, to address the issue.
✅ No evidence of exploitation has been reported, and no unauthorized XRP creation has been confirmed.
🔐 The takeaway: Strong security is essential to protecting XRP’s supply and maintaining trust in the network. Validators should upgrade to the patched version.
$XRP remains focused on network security and reliability. 💪
