XRP Ledger Issues Emergency Fix for Decade-Old Payment Bug
A decade-old XRP Ledger flaw could have enabled unfunded payments to generate spendable XRP, prompting an emergency software release, CoinDesk reported.
XRP Ledger has patched a decade-old vulnerability that could have allowed billions of dollars worth of XRP to be created without funding, according to CoinDesk.
Researchers demonstrated that a payment could generate XRP available to spend even though the sender had not supplied the funds.
The finding prompted an emergency software release to address the flaw. The report provided no details on whether it had been exploited beyond the researchers’ demonstration.
