Foresight News reports that the Brave research team has released a report indicating that the blockchain transaction authorization system zkLogin has three main vulnerabilities. The report shows that these vulnerabilities are not implementation issues but are inherent flaws in zkLogin’s current architecture and the overall system.
The three types of vulnerabilities identified include: zkLogin’s implicit reliance on externally issued JSON documents that may contain semantic ambiguities, the system converting short-term holder verification documents into permanent authorization credentials, and zkLogin introducing privacy and governance risks through re-centralized trust. None of these vulnerabilities involve cryptographic cracking or zero-knowledge proof breaches; instead, they stem from semantic ambiguities, lack of binding guarantees, and architectural trust transfer.

Ripple's former CTO confirms no issuer for XRP: NFT scam led to funds being stolen, victims unable to recover tokens
On February 14, former Ripple Chief Technology Officer and current Honorary CTO David Schwartz reiterated that XRP has no issuer, so in cases of theft or scam, no one can freeze, revoke, or recover these tokens. This statement was made in response to a recent "LP Reward Coupon" NFT scam, which resulted in a major liquidity provider’s wallet funds being transferred out and sparked widespread discussion in the community about the XRP Ledger’s recovery features.
The first to disclose this was X platform user Apex589, who pointed out that a liquidity provider suffered losses after receiving suspicious NFTs. Subsequently, GTFXRP added that the affected address belongs to a venture capital firm and called for the situation to be directly reported to David Schwartz. Some users asked whether losses could be recovered through XRPL’s recovery mechanism, but Schwartz responded that only assets with an issuer can be recovered, and since XRP is a native asset with no issuer, it cannot be recovered.
