OpenAI says AI bug reports are overwhelming open-source maintainers
Original title: Before you file that AI bug report, OpenAI has some advice
Daybreak has developed 661 tested patches, of which maintainers accepted 458, and OpenAI urges quality and coordinated disclosure.
OpenAI cyber executive Michael Aiello said Tuesday that AI-generated vulnerability reports are flooding open-source maintainers, and some have stopped accepting submissions. He contrasted unsolicited GitHub reports with OpenAI’s Daybreak and Patch the Planet work, which partners with researchers and coordinates fixes. He cited OpenAI’s work with the PHP Foundation on recent PHP flaws as an example and said that process did not go perfectly.
Unconfirmed: Aiello’s account of maintainer refusals and report quality is his characterization, not an independent survey.
- Aiello spoke at the DataTribe Challenge in Washington, D.C.
- He said most AI-submitted bugs are likely real but not always worth maintainer time.
- Advice: make findings high quality, readable, and coordinate disclosure across the ecosystem.
- A partner found the PHP flaw; OpenAI helped validate, fix, and release it.
