The XRP Ledger patched a critical vulnerability in its payment engine that could have allowed attackers to create and spend XRP beyond the network's 100 billion token supply. The flaw, present in versions 3.4.0 and earlier, was fixed in version 3.4.1 released on September 25 after being reported through a bug bounty program. The exploit involved manipulating order-book offers to cause an integer overflow, enabling unauthorized XRP creation that could be distributed and spent across multiple accounts. Despite the flaw likely existing since 2015, no evidence of exploitation on the public network has been found. Over 80% of validators had updated to the secure version by September 25.
The recent patch addressing the XRP Ledger's vulnerability comes as XRP continues to show steady trading activity on Pluang. As of Oct 10, 2026 11:42 WIB, XRP trades at Rp25.115 with a modest 0.55% gain over the past day. The token's circulating supply stands at 63.1 billion out of the maximum 100 billion, with a market cap of Rp1.581,87 trillion and a strong buy interest reflected in 74% of Pluang's order activity.
