An Overwhelmed Reward Program
Apple's bug bounty program, designed to encourage the discovery of vulnerabilities, is currently facing an unexpected issue. It is overwhelmed by an avalanche of bug reports generated by artificial intelligence. This situation has prompted Apple to limit the number of submissions allowed per researcher in order to manage the verification of reports more effectively.
A Critical Flaw Left Unreported
This saturation has had notable consequences. The Italian cybersecurity startup Bynario was unable to report a critical flaw in macOS. This vulnerability, if exploited, could have been worth up to $200,000 on the black market. The inability to report this flaw highlights the challenges posed by the increasing use of AI in generating bug reports.
Implications for Security
The current situation raises questions about the effectiveness of bug bounty programs, especially when automated tools flood communication channels. The failure to detect such significant vulnerabilities could have serious repercussions for the security of macOS users.
