XRP Ledger Foundation Spots ‘Crypto Stell Backdoor’ in the Code Library

In the official JavaScript library, the XRP Ledger Foundation has identified a “serious vulnerability”, which is used for interaction with the XRP -Ledger -Blockchain network, according to the non -profit organization.

On April 22nd, the blockchain security specialist Aikido said in a blog post that the XRP Ledger open source library was “compromised by demanding attackers who used a back door to steal cryptocurrency private keys and get access to cryptocurrency fountain.”

The JavaScript library contains programs with which developers can interact with the XRP Ledger and differs from the blockchain network itself.

‘(T) His package is used by hundreds of thousands of applications and websites, which means that it is used to a potentially catastrophic supply chain attack on the cryptocurrency ecosystem, “said Aikido.

The XRP Ledger Foundation has already brought the Code Repository up to date to “remove the previously compromised version”, says a contribution of April 22 on the X platform.
