Bitcoin Core Changes Security Policy as AI Makes Vulnerabilities Easier to Find

Bitcoin Core is rewriting its approach to security vulnerabilities as artificial intelligence makes certain software flaws dramatically easier to discover, undermining the effectiveness of longstanding policies designed to keep potential exploits secret while users upgrade. In an Oct. 22 message to the Bitcoin Development Mailing List, Bitcoin Core developer Antoine Poinsot announced changes to the project’s vulnerability disclosure policy , citing a growing number of security reports involving bugs that can be discovered or rediscovered with minimal effort. “We recently experienced an increase in the number of reports for security vulnerabilities that can be easily (re-)discovered,” Poinsot wrote.
