XRP Development Tool Compromised, Threatening User Funds

A major security vulnerability has shaken the XRP developer community after a widely used library for interacting with the XRPL was discovered to contain a hidden backdoor. The affected package is the XRPL NPM library, often employed by developers to create JavaScript and TypeScript applications that connect with the XRP Ledger. This compromised version, versions 4.2.4 through 2.14.2, could potentially steal private keys from users.
