Regarding the critical vulnerability in the payment engine reported by Veria AI, RippleX engineering lead J. Ayo Akinyele said that the XRP Ledger (XRPL) payment engine had a serious vulnerability that had existed for over 10 years and could have led to excessive issuance of `$XRP `. It has now been fixed and the system upgraded.
The vulnerability was patched in time before it could be exploited, and no actual excess issuance or resulting selling pressure occurred. This removes a fundamental risk that had been lurking for 10 years—a clear positive development. `$XRP `'s market price should not be materially affected, and the outlook remains bullish.
