XRP Ledger Fixes Security Flaw in Batch Amendment Before Launch
A security vulnerability was discovered in a proposed XRP Ledger (XRPL) upgrade that could have led to unauthorized transactions. The flaw was found in the "Batch" amendment, a feature designed to allow users to bundle multiple actions into a single atomic transaction. Security researcher Pranamya Keshkamat and Cantina AI’s Apex tool reported the issue. According to the XRPL Foundation, the vulnerability, if exploited, would have allowed attackers to execute inner transactions without proper authorization, potentially leading to unauthorized fund transfers and changes to ledger settings. The bug stemmed from a loop error in the function that validates batch signers. The issue was identified and addressed before the amendment was activated on the main network.
