C3: Cryptographically verify each export signature blob against the
inner transaction's signing data before storing in the collector.
Looks up the ttEXPORT tx from the open ledger, reconstructs the
signing data via buildMultiSigningData, and calls verify().
If the tx isn't in our open ledger yet (timing/relay), the sig is
stored unverified as a fallback — it can be verified later at the
SHAMap merge path or will be rejected at Export::doApply if invalid.
This runs on the jtPROPOSAL_t job queue thread (not the IO strand
or transactor), so the verify() cost has no impact on consensus
critical path performance.
C2 hardening: validate all export sig blobs before committing any,
preventing partial state if a later blob fails the sender binding
check. Also moves the trusted() check before the loop since senderPK
is constant.
H1: Add checkQuorumAndSnapshot() to ExportSigCollector that performs
the quorum threshold check and signature snapshot under a single lock
acquisition. Export::doApply now uses this instead of separate
signatureCount() + snapshotWithSigs() calls, eliminating the TOCTOU
window where concurrent overlay threads could mutate the collector
between the two operations.
C1: Move onTrustedPeerMessage() from the synchronous onMessage(TMProposeSet)
handler into checkPropose(), after checkSign() verifies the proposal's
cryptographic signature. Previously, export sigs were ingested before
signature verification, allowing any peer to inject forged sigs by
spoofing nodepubkey to a trusted validator's key.
C2: Add sender binding in onTrustedPeerMessage() — each export sig
blob's embedded validator pubkey must match the proposal sender's
nodepubkey. Reject the entire proposal's export sigs on any mismatch,
preventing a compromised validator from impersonating other validators
to single-handedly forge quorum.
Move ConsensusExtensionsTick.h from xrpld/app/consensus/ to
xrpld/consensus/ — it's a pure template with no app-layer deps.
Extract Peer::Extensions::onTick() definition into test/csf/PeerTick.h
so Peer.h no longer includes from xrpld/app/.
Eliminates the test.csf > xrpld.app levelization edge.
Add --explain flag to levelization.py for tracing dependency edges.
Replace the duplicated throwaway-STTx + real-STTx pattern with a
single STObject: set all fields including fee=0, serialise to compute
the fee, patch the fee, then serialise once into the final STTx.
20 lines shorter, no duplication.
testXportPayment now asserts the full emitted tx lifecycle:
- hook fires with ACCEPT, emitCount=1, returnCode=0
- sfHookEmissions present with 1 entry
- ltEMITTED_TXN in AffectedNodes
- emitted dir is not empty
- after close, emitted ttEXPORT appears in closed ledger
Also add FOCUSED_TEST env var gate for fast iteration during
development (set FOCUSED_TEST=1 to run only focused_test()).
Move export scenario tests from suite.yml into their own
export-suite.yml file. The defaults already set CE+Export features
so individual test entries no longer need to repeat them.
Add SuiteLogsWithOverrides test utility: a Logs subclass that routes
specified journal partitions to stderr (always visible) while keeping
others on suite_.log (only on failure). Useful for debugging specific
subsystems during test development.
Mutating the fee via const_cast after STTx construction left a stale
cached getTransactionID(). When the emitted ttEXPORT was serialised
into the emitted directory and later deserialised, the round-tripped
txid differed from the original, causing tefNONDIR_EMIT in
Transactor::preclaim (the emitted dir entry was keyed with the stale
hash).
Build a throwaway STTx with fee=0 to calculate the fee size, then
construct the real STTx with the correct fee from the start.
Use sfExportedTxn (OBJECT) instead of sfBlob (VL) for the multisigned
transaction in sfExportResult metadata. This renders as readable JSON
with all fields visible (Account, Signers, etc.) instead of an opaque
hex blob.
Also compute the tx hash directly via getHash(HashPrefix::transactionID)
on the STObject instead of serializing/deserializing through STTx.
Export::doApply now builds the fully multisigned inner tx and stores
it as sfBlob in sfExportResult metadata. In standalone mode, the node
signs directly with its own validator keys (no consensus needed).
Key changes:
- ExportSigCollector stores actual multisign signatures, not just pubkeys
- RCLConsensus proposal attachment computes real multisign sigs over inner tx
- PeerImp harvests variable-length sig entries from proposals
- Export::doApply assembles Signers array, builds multisigned blob first,
then uses its hash for the shadow ticket (getTransactionID includes all
fields including Signers)
- Import skips OperationLimit and signing key checks for export callback
path (sfTicketSequence present) — shadow ticket proves the relationship
- Full Export→XRPL→Import round-trip test: export on Xahau, submit
multisigned blob to XRPL (with matching SignerList), build XPOP,
import back, verify shadow ticket consumed
Shadow tickets store the exported transaction hash. Import now verifies
the XPOP's inner tx hash matches, preventing use of a different XPOP
with the same TicketSequence.
- Validate incoming export sig pubkeys against trusted UNL (PeerImp)
- Fix handleAcquiredRngSet misclassifying export sets when local map is null
- Add stale-entry cleanup (cleanupStale with 256-ledger timeout)
- Gate sig attachment on featureExport amendment (RCLConsensus)
- Fail with tefINTERNAL if ExportResult metadata can't be written
- Make export and cancel mutually exclusive (reject both in preflight)
- Remove dead ExportLimits.h include
Without CE: require unanimity (100% UNL) to avoid non-deterministic
quorum disagreement. With CE: use standard 80% quorum via
calculateQuorumThreshold (SHAMap convergence will ensure agreement).
Standalone/unit tests: require 1 sig.
Replace the old ltEXPORTED_TXN + ttEXPORT_FINALIZE (validation-based
sigs, TxQ injection) approach with a retriable ttEXPORT that collects
validator signatures via TMProposeSet during consensus.
Added:
- terRETRY_EXPORT: keeps tx in retry set across ledger boundaries
- tecEXPORT_EXPIRED (200): LLS expiry frees sequence cleanly
- sfExportResult (OBJECT 98): signed export result in tx metadata
- ExportSigCollector: minimal thread-safe sig tracker
- Proposal sig attachment (RCLConsensus) + harvesting (PeerImp)
- exportSignatures field in TMProposeSet (ripple.proto)
- Metadata plumbing (TxMeta, ApplyViewImpl, ApplyStateTable)
- Hook xport() now emits ttEXPORT via normal emitted txn path
Removed:
- ttEXPORT_FINALIZE (type 90) pseudo-tx and Change::applyExportFinalize
- ltEXPORTED_TXN ledger entry and exportedDir/exportedTxn keylets
- ExportSignatureCollector (replaced by ExportSigCollector)
- TxQ export injection (quorum check + rawTxInsert)
- Validation-based export signing in RCLConsensus
- Application::getExportSignatureCollector
Verified on 5-node testnet: golden path (same-ledger finalization with
ExportResult in metadata), degraded path (tecEXPORT_EXPIRED on sub-quorum),
and hook xport() path (emitted ttEXPORT with shadow ticket creation).
Add sfCancelTicketSequence (UINT32 field 101) to ttEXPORT, allowing
users to cancel shadow tickets via a transaction. Both sfExportedTxn
and sfCancelTicketSequence are optional — at least one must be present.
This allows export, cancel, or both in a single transaction.
Test: create shadow ticket via export, cancel via sfCancelTicketSequence,
verify ticket is gone and owner reserve is freed.
Exported transactions must use TicketSequence (with Sequence=0)
because a bounced tx on the destination chain would jam sequential
sequence numbers. This is enforced in both the hook xport() API
and the Export transactor via ExportLedgerOps::validateTicketSequence().
Adds test: ttEXPORT rejects export without TicketSequence.
Updates existing test hooks to include TicketSequence in exported txns.
When the inner XPOP transaction has sfTicketSequence, Import now
takes the export callback path: consume the shadow ticket via
ExportLedgerOps::cancelShadowTicket() and return. No B2M balance
crediting, no account creation. Hooks fire normally and can inspect
the result via xpop_slot().
The B2M path is unchanged for non-ticket imports.
Also migrates the shadow ticket check in preclaim from the old
hookState namespace approach to keylet::shadowTicket().
Removes the unused shadowTicketNamespace constant.
Introduce shadow tickets for export replay protection:
- ltSHADOW_TICKET ledger entry: account-owned, keyed by
account + ticket sequence. Fields: sfAccount, sfTicketSequence,
sfTransactionHash, sfLedgerSequence, sfOwnerNode.
- ExportLedgerOps::createShadowTicket(): creates shadow ticket
when exported tx has sfTicketSequence. Charges owner reserve.
Called from both hook xport() path and Export transactor.
- ExportLedgerOps::cancelShadowTicket(): deletes shadow ticket,
frees reserve. Used by xport_cancel hook API.
- xport_cancel(ticket_seq) hook API: allows hooks to cancel
shadow tickets for exports that will never get a callback.
- InvariantCheck: add ltSHADOW_TICKET to valid entry types.
- Test: verify shadow ticket creation with correct fields and
owner count bump via ttEXPORT with TicketSequence.
Rename the existing ttEXPORT pseudo-tx to ttEXPORT_FINALIZE (type 90)
to make room for a user-submittable ttEXPORT (type 91).
ttEXPORT allows non-hook users to submit export transactions directly,
creating the same ltEXPORTED_TXN entries that the hook xport() API
creates inline.
Extract shared logic into ExportLedgerOps.h:
- createExportedTxn(): creates ltEXPORTED_TXN, enforces directory cap
- validateNetworkID(): self-target and unconfigured guards
- validateExportAccount(): account ownership check
Both the hook API (HookAPI.cpp) and the Export transactor now call
into ExportLedgerOps, eliminating duplicated validation and ledger
mutation code.
If the node's NETWORK_ID is 0 (default/unconfigured) and the exported
transaction has no sfNetworkID field, we can't distinguish self-targeting
from legitimate cross-chain export. Reject to be safe.
Also adds exportTestConfig() helper and test for the unconfigured case.
Verify that xport() rejects exported transactions whose sfNetworkID
matches the local network. The hook builds a Payment with
NetworkID=21337 (matching the test env), and the guard correctly
returns EXPORT_FAILURE causing tecHOOK_REJECTED.
Also fix log level for the guard rejection to warn (not trace).
Explicitly forbid exported transactions whose sfNetworkID matches the
local network's ID. An exported txn re-executing on its origin chain
could cause exploits or logic issues.
The check is intentionally non-mandatory: XRPL mainnet (the primary
export target) doesn't use NetworkID, so absent = allowed.
Both xrpld.overlay and xrpl.hook depend on xrpl.protocol, so placing
the header there avoids introducing a new xrpld.overlay > xrpl.hook
levelization dependency.
- max_export per hook: 4 → 2
- maxPendingExports: cap exported directory at 8 entries (tecDIR_FULL)
- clamp inbound signature processing in PeerImp to directory cap
The directory cap is the root DoS constraint: each pending export
requires every validator to sign and broadcast every round. Inbound
processing and signing throughput are transitively bounded by it.
Inline comments at all 6 conflict points guiding the maintainer
through the expected merge conflicts when sync-2.5.0 lands:
ledgerMAX_CONSENSUS const, bootstrap params, calculateQuorumThreshold,
effectiveParms+stalled in haveConsensus, DisputedTx::stalled() j/clog
params, and testDisputes placement.
Cherry-pick of ripple/rippled@86ef16dbeb ("Fix: Don't flag consensus
as stalled prematurely (#5627)"). Not yet in any xahau sync branch.
Fixes false stall detection when there are no disputed transactions:
std::ranges::all_of on an empty set is vacuously true, so consensus
was incorrectly flagged as stalled. Adds !result_->disputes.empty()
guard.
Also adds diagnostic logging to DisputedTx::stalled() and the
stall detection path in haveConsensus(), and promotes the
"Need validated ledger" log from debug to warn.
Cherry-pick of ripple/rippled@d22a5057b9 / xahau dd085e5d8 ("Prevent
consensus from getting stuck in the establish phase (#5277)"), resolved
against our RNG pipeline and bootstrap fast-start changes.
Upstream adds three layered anti-stall mechanisms:
- Stateful per-dispute avalanche state machine (init→mid→late→stuck)
- Stall detection: declares consensus when all disputes individually settled
- Hard expiration: clamp(10× prev round, 15s, 120s) wall-clock safety net
Conflict resolution:
- ConsensusParms.h: kept both avalanche state machine (const members,
avMIN_ROUNDS, avSTALLED_ROUNDS, getNeededWeight) and our bootstrap
params (bootstrapRoundTimeSeed, bootstrapStableRoundsRequired).
ledgerMAX_CONSENSUS left non-const for bootstrap override.
- Consensus.h: pass both stalled flag and effectiveParms to checkConsensus.
Stall check uses original parms, bootstrap override only affects max
consensus timeout.
- Consensus_test.cpp: kept all 12 RNG tests and new testDisputes test.
Use an explicit 5s cap instead of dividing the default 15s.
5s is the sweet spot: long enough for peers to exchange proposals
and converge naturally, short enough to avoid wasted time.
Shorter values (e.g. 3.75s) cause nodes to hit reachedMax before
peers converge, cascading into slower subsequent rounds.
Seed prevRoundTime_ to 3s instead of 15s on first round, override
idle interval to bypass closeTimeResolution (10-30s on early ledgers),
and halve ledgerMAX_CONSENSUS during bootstrap. Auto-disables after 3
consecutive rounds with UNL quorum participation.
Cuts 5-node testnet cold-start from ~28s to ~13s.
Also adds projected-source markers to TxQ, NetworkOPs, and Submit for
the transaction-submission documentation template.
Consolidate the repeated entropy fallback condition
(entropyFailed || no reveals || sub-quorum reveals) into a single
method. Fixes EntropyCount field reporting non-zero when the digest
was correctly zeroed due to sub-quorum reveals.
Sub-quorum reveals (e.g. 3/4 threshold) were producing real entropy,
allowing a minority of validators to disproportionately influence the
output. Both injectEntropyPseudoTx and buildExplicitFinalProposalTxSet
now fall back to zero entropy when reveals < quorumThreshold().
When prevProposers < quorumThreshold, the network is still converging
and RNG can only produce zero entropy. Skip the commit/reveal pipeline
to avoid PIPELINE_TIMEOUT and conflict-wait delays that compound across
staggered startup rounds.
