Openwall questions AI security reports
Openwall's oss-security list received three security reports from an automated sender called Eve. The editor questioned their usefulness and disputed the reports' claimed vendor-notification timing.
- Report priority
- Medium
How it works
- Eve submitted three postings without Date headers.
- They arrived at the list server on September 9 between 6am and 11am UTC.
- Two reports had multiple versions, and the editor said claims about vendor notification either allowed no time for responses or might not have involved notification.
What to do
If you relied on one of Eve's three September 9 reports, review its findings, dates, and vendor-contact claims against authoritative evidence.
Compare each claim with authoritative evidence or a response from the named vendor when available.
