#xrpledgerpatchesxrpcreationbug 🚨 XRP Ledger just patched an 11-year-old bug that could have created XRP out of thin air 🚨 Here’s what happened: 🔹 A flaw in the XRPL payment engine (an integer overflow) dates back to about 2015 🔹 An attacker could have used hundreds of crafted offers plus a single payment to mint spendable XRP. That would break the hard cap of 100 billion XRP 🔹 Researchers reported it through the bug bounty on Sept 22, and the fix shipped in xrpld 3.4.1 on Sept 25 🔹 RippleX reproduced the attack and confirmed the minted XRP could be spent. They found no evidence it was ever exploited 🔹 The public disclosure came on Oct 9, after node operators had already been patched 📊 My take: Price barely moved (about $1.40, down ~5.5% on the week), because this was a hole that got closed, not a drain. A minting bug is the worst kind a blockchain can have, so patching it quietly before disclosure was the right call. Still, a bug that survived 11 years is a reminder to watch how these networks handle security. ⚠️ If you run an XRPL node, update to 3.4.1 or later. If you only hold XRP, watch for exchange notices about maintenance. $XRP
