News Summary

  • A flaw in the XRP Ledger’s payment system could have let an attacker create large amounts of new XRP without paying for it.
  • The bug, believed to date to 2015, was found by researcher Cayden Liao and Veria AI.
  • Engineers at RippleX reproduced the attack on a standalone server and confirmed the newly created XRP could be spent in a later transaction.
  • All 100 billion XRP were created when the ledger launched in 2012, and its software is built so no more can ever be added.
