XRP Ledger Payment Bug Could Have Enabled Counterfeit XRP
Decrypt reported that an integer overflow in XRP Ledger’s payment engine, dormant since 2015, could have allowed an attacker to create spendable XRP beyond its total supply.
A flaw in XRP Ledger’s payment engine could have allowed an attacker to generate spendable XRP beyond the token’s total supply, according to Decrypt.
The vulnerability involved an integer overflow and had remained dormant since 2015. Its potential impact was unauthorized XRP creation through the ledger’s payment processing system.
The report excerpt does not establish whether anyone exploited the flaw or whether it has been fixed. It describes a potential counterfeiting route, rather than confirming that excess XRP was created.
