XRP ($XRP ): Ledger’s payment engine harbored a counterfeiting bug since 2015
An integer overflow in the XRP Ledger’s payment engine, dormant since 2015, was uncovered by security researchers. The vulnerability lay dormant for nearly a decade before being reported. The issue was reported by Decrypt, which highlighted the potential for counterfeit XRP.
The overflow could have allowed an attacker to mint spendable XRP beyond the token’s total supply, effectively creating counterfeit units. Such minting would have exceeded the designed supply cap.
The discovery highlights a critical risk to XRP’s fixed‑supply promise and underscores the importance of rigorous code audits. Ensuring the bug is patched is essential to maintain confidence in the ledger’s integrity.
