XRPL developers released an emergency software update (version 3.4.1) in late September to fix undisclosed security vulnerabilities, temporarily withholding the source code to prevent attacks. Operators were urged to upgrade before the Oct 9 activation, after which non-upgraded servers risk being blocked from network consensus. Critic Justin Bons argues this closed-source fix contradicts blockchain transparency and claims XRPL operates like a permissioned Proof-of-Authority system due to reliance on recommended validator lists by Ripple and the XRP Ledger Foundation. However, XRPL developers emphasize the measure is temporary and that anyone can run validators, maintaining a decentralized architecture. The update coincides with broader XRPL protocol enhancements, including batch transactions and delegated permissions.
