Apple is limiting the number of allegedly dangerous software bugs that researchers can submit to its internal security team. The reason for imposing these limitations is that security researchers rely on AI to identify the risks. The company started limiting submissions after receiving a high volume of reports that were actually “AI slop.” Apple has introduced limitations and a 30-day waiting period for submissions through the company’s internal security portal. The first to notice the limitations was an Italian cybersecurity company, Bynario. The company has found more than 50 bugs in Apple’s latest MacBook operating systems within 3 weeks using ChatGPT, according to the Financial Times. One of these vulnerabilities was a privilege-escalation exploit chain that would allow the attacker to gain full control of a user’s MacBook.
