Bitcoin Core revises disclosure policy as AI makes bug hunting easier

  • —Poinsot: embargoes only delay fixes without providing real protection
  • —AI-discoverable bugs will be patched in all supported major versions ASAP
  • —Low-severity flaws disclosed two weeks after release; medium and high after version EOL
  • —Bitcoin Red Team flagged nearly 5,000 potential issues across 390 projects in August
Why it matters: AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery, pushing Bitcoin Core toward faster patching and reshaping security practices across the BTC ecosystem.
