Google Pauses Open-Source Bug Bounty as AI Reports Flood In

Original: Google Pauses Open-Source Bug Bounty Program After AI Reports Overwhelm Reviewers

Google has paused its open-source bug bounty program after an influx of AI-generated vulnerability reports overwhelmed its reviewers. The flood of automated submissions made it difficult for security teams to separate genuine flaws from low-quality or fabricated findings, prompting the company to halt accepting new reports while it reassesses the program's review process.

Why now: AI tools are making it cheap to mass-produce bug reports, forcing Google to pause the program and raising wider concerns about AI spam in security research.
