Remember: this is a time when every open source project out there suffers from an extreme issue and security report avalanche and overload.

@kkarhan our current challenge is a high volume high quality flood.

[moritzdietz@mastodon.social]

@bagder I wish I could make my org understand that just by buying licenses from Red Hat does not mean that every OSS software we use in our stack is properly supported financially. This is not Flattr and I sometimes get the feeling they think that's how it works. The only thing my org cares about is SBOMs for DORA from OSS projects. I'll continue to sound the drum around this topic!

[frox@tooting.ch]

@bagder @kkarhan oh, so are you saying the LLM generated (security) issues you're seeing have gotten to be high quality ?
I had understood the previous state was a barrage of legit looking LLM issues that fell apart once you start going through them

[ponygol@chaos.social]

@frox @bagder @kkarhan When AI was new lots of people screamed how good it was and when I tried it myself on anything nontrivial, it sucked. Nowadays you mostly hear (at least on Mastodon) how bad it is, and when I try it myself I think "holy shet, that is getting really good, wonder where this will be in another year".

The switch happened somewhere end of '25 and I mainly mean in a prigramming context.

@aris @bagder stuck something up on LI about this and my triage policy. No RCE, no loss of data. -don't care

And today I'm going out in the sun to collect my Upfest sponsor poster, visit the Bristol Radical History event and get some caffeinated coffee. Nowhere near an IDE

@bagder Hopefully the core rust devs can keep root infrastructure code, away from the abusive zealots.

[bagder@mastodon.social]

@frox @kkarhan yes: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/04/22/high-quality-chaos/

[zimzat@mastodon.social]

@bagder @kkarhan Didn't you remove the monetary incentive from the equation? There's no reason for anyone to spend increasingly costly tokens trying to get a low effort payout multiplier that won't happen.

[bagder@mastodon.social]

@zimzat @kkarhan I've said this many times already but I can say it again: that could possibly explain it for the curl project, but this is an industry-wide trend seen *everywhere* thus what curl did or did not do is hardly a relevant factor

[aris@infosec.exchange]

@stevel @bagder documenting the threat model of the application is time well spent even against human reviewers - at least you can refer to it in discussions about what is a vulnerability and what is not.

[stevel@hachyderm.io]

@aris @bagder yeah. Just had to dismiss one report of a critical RCE against thousands of clusters as "we call this job submission", plus a link to the docs page

Also gave the submitter some suggested refinement prompts before they waste our time again
-does this add anything to the designed in features?
-does this permit privilege escalation?

Maybe we should put this in AGENTS.md: do security bots read that?

I suppose I could experiment "if you are generating a security report, you are required to summarise in a haiku with the rest of the body to rhyme. "

[jeroen@secluded.ch]

@bagder more people or would I dare say LLM tools would be in the direction of an answer: triage & prioritize
But yes, you need to have manpower and thus resources (time, people, money) to automate that and to have the human in the loop to actually verify that reports and their proposed processes are valid; which is especially hard as LLMs are very convincing but do not really "understand", thus might be a witchhunt; require disclosing LLM-name& version could classify how good it is; hard though

@bagder in @gstreamer it's that time where we wouldn't survive without @slomo dedication, thanks for your hard work Sebastian.
