Security Amendment Is Active
The XRP Ledger activated the fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment on November 4 at 14:52 UTC, at ledger 108,112,129. PrimeXBT reported that the change closes a flaw in the network's permission-delegation system. The issue involved PaymentBurn, a permission intended to let an approved account destroy tokens issued by another account.
Under the previous rules, an account holding that burn permission could, under certain conditions, create issued tokens when a payment crossed a zero-balance boundary. The affected assets included stablecoins, trust-line tokens, and Multi-Purpose Tokens. The amendment rejects PaymentBurn payments that cross that boundary, separating token destruction from token creation.
Native XRP Was Not Involved
The technical issue did not affect XRP's native supply because XRP is outside the permission system involved in the flaw. PrimeXBT also reported that no publicly confirmed exploitation had been disclosed and that the available information did not identify an issuer that suffered unauthorized token creation.
The amendment's activation followed a temporary decline in validator support during October, which interrupted the first approval period. A subsequent support period lasted the required 14 consecutive days before the rule became active.
