Google pauses open source bug bounty program amid AI submission surge
Google has temporarily paused its open source bug bounty program, citing a surge in submissions generated with AI tools. The company says low-quality automated reports have made it harder to identify genuine vulnerabilities worth rewarding. The move has sparked debate in the security community about whether AI-generated bug reports are overwhelming vulnerability disclosure programs across the industry, and when Google might resume the program.
Why now: Security researchers are concerned that AI-generated spam is disrupting established vulnerability disclosure programs, with Google's flagship program being the highest-profile example.
