Google pauses open source bug bounty program citing flood of AI reports
Original: Google froze its open source bug bounty program due to a ‘significant rise’ in AI submissions
Google has frozen its open source bug bounty program, citing a significant rise in submissions generated with the help of AI. The company says automated, low-quality vulnerability reports are overwhelming reviewers, making it harder to identify genuine security flaws. The move highlights a growing problem across the security industry as AI tools make it easy to mass-produce plausible-looking bug reports.
Why now: It shows AI-generated spam now disrupting even long-running security reward programs.
