The XRP Ledger (XRPL) blockchain, used by the XRP cryptocurrency, activated a security update this Wednesday (the 4th) to fix a vulnerability that could have allowed tokens to be created without authorization from their issuers. The flaw affected the network’s permission system and posed a particular risk to companies that issue stablecoins and other digital assets on the blockchain.
The update, called fixCleanup3_4_0, took effect at 11:52 a.m. Brasília time, at ledger index 108,112,129, according to information from the XRPLWin explorer. The fix was implemented after receiving the necessary support from the network’s validators, who are responsible for verifying transactions and approving changes to the blockchain’s operating rules.
