Ripple Says XRP Supply Bug Was Fixed Before Exploitation

Ripple says a critical software vulnerability that threatened XRP’s fixed supply was addressed before it could be exploited.

The flaw could have allowed XRP to be created without authorization, potentially undermining the asset’s supply limit. The supplied report did not detail how the vulnerability worked.

Ripple’s engineering team is expanding its use of AI-assisted testing and mathematical checks to uncover longstanding software weaknesses as vulnerability discovery accelerates.
