XRP Ledger developers deploy emergency security patch, bypassing validator vote

XRP Ledger developers implemented an emergency security fix after discovering a vulnerability that could have enabled attackers to generate spendable XRP beyond the predetermined supply limit. This decision bypassed the protocol’s standard two-week validator approval process, a move that has stirred debate within the XRP community about the balance between security and decentralization. On September 25, the development team released a critical update after identifying an integer overflow flaw in the XRPL payment engine.
