XRPL Foundation patches critical bug after AI scanner flags vulnerability ahead of mainnet

Published at 2026-02-27 06:30:12

The XRPL Foundation has fixed a critical vulnerability discovered by an AI bug hunter that scanned Ripple’s blockchain codebase before the impending mainnet release. The automated analysis identified the issue in advance and gave engineers time to deploy a patch, preventing a last-minute security incident and preserving the integrity of the launch timeline.

This intervention highlights the growing role of AI-assisted code review in blockchain security and should boost confidence among developers and users as XRPL moves toward mainnet. While technical teams continue auditing the code, the swift discovery and resolution reduce near-term operational risk for projects building on XRPL and for holders of XRP.
