As a result, the company is having difficulty separating signal from noise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis isn\u2019t unique to GitHub,\u201d wrote Jarom Brown, senior product security engineer at GitHub. \u201cPrograms across the industry are grappling with the same challenge, and some have shut down entirely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brown said GitHub does not want to ban the use of AI generated reports entirely, calling it a \u201cforce multiplier\u201d for security in the right context. But in a world where it\u2019s never been easier to use AI to generate theoretical bugs, the company wants researchers to go the extra mile to confirm that their discoveries can actually be exploited in real-world conditions.<\/p>\n<p>What we need is the same standard we\u2019ve always expected: validation,\u201d Brown wrote. \u201cAn AI-assisted finding that\u2019s been verified, reproduced, and submitted with a working proof of concept is a great submission. An unvalidated output submitted as-is without reproduction or demonstrated impact is not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grant Bourzikas, chief security officer at Cloudflare, said triaging bugs and proving&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/ai-vulnerability-reporting-bug-bounty-noise\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI might cut false positives, but it won\u2019t stop the slop\u00a0 https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/ai-vulnerability-reporting-bug-bounty-noise\/ Publish Date: 2026-05-18&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":248808,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2260315279.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[26,24,27],"class_list":["post-248807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-ai","tag-cybersecurity","tag-vulnerability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248807"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248807"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248807\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":248809,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248807\/revisions\/248809"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/248808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
