A hidden vulnerability in the $XRP ledger that had existed for ten years has been fixed, and officials confirm it was not exploited
A vulnerability in the $XRP ledger (XRPL) payment software was publicly disclosed today and has been fixed with an emergency patch. The flaw allowed attackers to mint spendable $XRP out of thin air, theoretically threatening its total supply cap of 100 billion coins. Security reports show the vulnerability can be traced back to 2015, where it remained dormant for nearly a decade. Ripple’s development division, RippleX, said it found no signs that the flaw was actually exploited. The price of $XRP is currently about $1.41, with a market capitalization of about $88.8 billion. This incident once again reminds the market that the security of underlying ledger code remains one of the industry’s most easily overlooked systemic risk points.
