A critical overflow bug in the XRP Ledger software, existing since 2015, was quietly patched in September 2026 after being reported by a security researcher. The flaw allowed attackers to potentially mint XRP beyond the fixed supply cap of 100 billion tokens by exploiting integer overflow in payment calculations. RippleX confirmed no evidence of exploitation or fund loss, and the emergency fix was deployed immediately, bypassing the usual voting process to protect the network. XRP holders can be reassured as the supply integrity remains intact, but node operators must upgrade to the patched version to avoid risks.
