Quote, we recently experienced an increase in the number of reports for security vulnerabilities that can be easily rediscovered.

Antoine Poinsot, the Chaincode Lab developer who wrote the change, said in his proposal, quote, this is largely due to large language models drastically reducing the bar to find certain classes of issues or identify covert fixes.

So how does this all work? Okay, core can now flag a bug as easy to discover during triage, which in practice means one that, quote, can be found with a simple prompt to an LLM.

These bugs get a fix copied back to every version Core still supports, shipped in a point release as soon as possible, along with the security advisory carrying some details.

Second, Bitcoin Core is changing how it discloses security bugs.

Core developer Antoine Poinsot announced the update on the Bitcoin development mailing list.

Under the updated policy, easily discoverable vulnerabilities get fixes backported to all maintained releases.

Those releases ship as soon as possible with a security advisory.
