XRP Ledger Patches Bug That Threatened Token Minting Security

The XRP Ledger has activated a protocol amendment called fixCleanup3_4_0 to address a permission-related vulnerability that could allow accounts authorised to burn tokens to create new ones under specific circumstances. The flaw affected delegated PaymentBurn transactions involving issued assets, including stablecoins and other tokens. The patch prevents transactions from crossing a zero-balance boundary. XRP itself was not affected, and there have been no reported cases of the vulnerability being exploited.
