AI Is Breaking Two Vulnerability Cultures

The article examines how AI is disrupting two dominant vulnerability disclosure cultures: coordinated disclosure (90-day embargo) and 'bugs are bugs' (quiet fixes). Using the Copy Fail vulnerability as a case study, it argues that AI accelerates vulnerability discovery and patch analysis, rendering traditional embargoes ineffective and suggesting very short embargoes as a solution.
