Fusion42 · 5 October 2026 · Fusion42 review

Google has paused its Open Source Vulnerability Rewards Program until 2027 due to a surge in invalid automated AI vulnerability submissions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity, and 3 sources have reported it between 5 Oct 2026 and 6 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Google has halted its open-source bug bounty program because AI spammers are drowning valid reports. If you work in security tooling or vulnerability disclosure, you need to change how you submit findings before your efforts go to waste.
