Google Narrows Open Source Bug Bounty Amid Invalid AI Reports

Original: Google Narrows Open Source Bug Bounty Amid Wave of Invalid Automated Reports

Google is scaling back its open source bug bounty program following a flood of invalid, automated vulnerability reports. The company says low-quality AI-generated submissions have overwhelmed reviewers, prompting it to restrict the types of projects and issues eligible for rewards. Security researchers are debating the move, warning it could discourage legitimate reporting while acknowledging that automated scanning tools are straining bug bounty programs across the industry.

Why now: The rise of AI-generated automated security reports is disrupting bug bounty programs, and Google's policy change is a notable industry response.
