AI bug hunters flood open-source security with reports—maintainers struggle to separate signal from noise

Open-source maintainers face an unprecedented wave of AI-generated security reports flooding their inboxes. While tools like Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 discovered over 500 zero-days in initial testing, the cURL project saw legitimate bug reports drop to just 5% as AI slop overwhelms volunteer teams. Some projects have shut down bug bounty programs entirely, while others search for ways to filter quality submissions from automated noise.
