A recently discovered flaw in the XRP Ledger’s code put billions of dollars in XRP at potential risk, but was swiftly resolved with an emergency update to its core software, xrpld 3.4.1, released on September 25. The bug, present since 2015, could have allowed anyone to mint nearly unlimited XRP, raising significant concern among developers and users of the network. Cayden Liao, a security researcher, and Veria AI flagged the critical issue through the XRP Ledger bug bounty program on September 22.
