XRP Ledger set to activate patch for permission flaw
BROBROK News · Based on reporting by DiarioBitcoin ·
XRP Ledger plans to activate fixCleanup3_4_0 on November 4 to close a gap in delegated permissions tied to PaymentBurn. The reported issue could let an authorized account burn tokens and, in some cases, create certain tokens as well.
Key points
- Activation is expected around 14:46 UTC on November 4, 2026.
- The fix has support from 33 of 35 trusted validators; 29 votes are needed to pass the threshold.
- XRPL documentation advises against delegating PaymentBurn until the amendment is live.
- The issue is linked to PermissionDelegationV1_1 and the delegated PaymentBurn permission.
- The timeline was delayed after validator support briefly dropped and the countdown reset.
Why it matters
The flaw mainly matters for issuers, exchanges, and companies that manage delegated permissions on XRPL. Until the patch activates, the concern is limited to that permission flow rather than all network users.
