Developers say faster-moving AI tools are prompting quicker public disclosure of some software bugs, raising pressure on node operators to update promptly. Bitcoin Core developers are changing how they handle bug disclosure. Some vulnerabilities will now be made public sooner than under previous practice. The change is tied to the growing use of artificial intelligence tools in security research. For years, Bitcoin Core has followed a cautious disclosure model. Critical bugs were typically kept quiet while patches were prepared and distributed. Node operators and mining pools were given time to upgrade before details became public.
