Ripple Responds to Critical XRP Bug That Threatened Fixed Supply

XRP’s fixed supply faced a critical software threat that Ripple says was addressed before exploitation. Its engineering team is expanding AI-assisted testing and mathematical checks to uncover longstanding weaknesses as vulnerability discovery accelerates. A critical flaw could have allowed unauthorized XRP creation, prompting Ripple to reinforce security across the XRP Ledger (XRPL). J. Ayo Akinyele, senior director of engineering at RippleX, Ripple’s division supporting development of the public blockchain, outlined the response and security priorities on X on Oct. 10, following the vulnerability’s disclosure the previous day.
