XRP Ledger patched 2015 vulnerability, audit finds no unauthorized XRP creation

Cyber Capital fund manager Justin Bonds criticized recent developments in the XRP Ledger, focusing on the management of software upgrades and the role of validator lists. The concerns center on how developers handle critical vulnerabilities and the extent of control that network operators and default node lists exert on the ecosystem. Dr. Stevenson, a researcher active in the blockchain space, reported that an overflow vulnerability was discovered on September 22 through the XRP Ledger’s official bug bounty program. This bug, reportedly present since 2015, could have enabled attackers to obtain XRP fraudulently or generate unauthorized tokens.
