> Veria Labs’ AI security system found a vulnerability in the XRP Ledger that had gone unnoticed for about a decade and could have allowed an attacker to create roughly 18 trillion XRP in one payment transaction. RippleX said no unauthorized XRP was created and found no evidence of losses or exploitation on public networks. Developers bypassed the usual governance process to deploy an emergency fix.
