cURL Ends Bug Bounty Program, Prioritizing Developer Well-being
The cURL project, a widely used networking tool, is ending its bug bounty program due to a surge in low-quality, potentially AI-generated vulnerability reports, impacting the mental health of its small team of maintainers. While experts acknowledge the importance of vulnerability rewards for maintaining security, the project lead emphasizes the need to prioritize the team's well-being and survival amidst the influx of unhelpful submissions. This decision highlights the challenges open-source projects face in managing AI-generated content and maintaining security without adequate resources.
