A newly disclosed flaw in the XRP Ledger's code could have allowed unauthorized token creation, prompting warnings about AI-assisted exploit discovery. RippleX has disclosed a security flaw in the XRP Ledger that existed undetected for approximately ten years. The bug, according to the company, could have theoretically allowed an attacker to mint XRP outside the network's fixed supply rules. Ripple's development team says the vulnerability has since been patched, and no evidence has emerged that it was ever exploited. Accounts of the flaw's scale vary across reporting.
