“XRP Ledger fixes decade-old minting vulnerability”: A bug dating back to around 2015 could overflow the built-in DEX counter, allowing a small amount of funds to be used across hundreds of accounts to match trades in a single operation and “print” new, spendable $XRP —bypassing the fixed 100 billion supply. Researcher Cayden Liao and Veria AI reported it privately on September 22. RippleX confirmed it was reproducible and silently fixed it on September 25 in xrpld 3.4.1, saying there was no evidence it had been exploited on the public ledger.
