XRPL Validators Block Flawed Amendments Ahead of Mainnet Activation
RippleX is pushing to release xrpld 3.3.0 next week with rewritten Batch and Permission Delegation amendments after validators blocked the originals due to critical flaws.
The original Batch amendment contained an authorization flaw that could have allowed attackers to execute inner transactions for arbitrary victim accounts without their private keys, including unauthorized payments and ledger changes. This would have let hackers drain XRP through transaction fees alone.
RippleX product head Jazzi Cooper listed five proposed XRP Ledger features for 3.3.0: Confidential MPT, Batch, Permission Delegation, Sponsored Fees and Reserves, and Dynamic MPT.
