Google pauses open-source bug bounty amid AI spam flood
Original: Google freezes open-source bug bounty program amid flood of invalid AI slop
Google has suspended part of its Open Source Vulnerability Reward Program as of October 1, stopping product vulnerability submissions after a wave of invalid, AI-generated bug reports overwhelmed reviewers. The move affects open-source submissions tied to Google products while the company reassesses how to handle the influx. Security researchers have long warned that automated AI-written reports would flood bounty programs with low-quality noise.
Why now: Google's suspension of a major bug bounty program highlights the growing problem of AI-generated spam overwhelming security reward systems.
