đš XRPL just patched a 10-YEAR-OLD critical bug đ„
A flaw from 2015 could have let attackers PRINT XRP out of thin air, breaking the 100B fixed supply cap đ±
How? Hundreds of mispriced offers bought in one payment â integer overflow â sellers get massive XRP, buyer pays almost nothing đ€Ż
Even the ledgerâs own supply check missed it because it used the same faulty math.
Reported Sept 22, fixed in xrpld 3.4.1 on Sept 25. No exploit found on mainnet â
Fixed supply doesn't mean fixed security. đ
