Bitcoin Core, the primary software powering the bitcoin network, will stop keeping security fixes under months-long embargo when the bug is one an artificial intelligence model could quickly find again. The policy change, merged on Thursday, replaces delayed disclosure with immediate patches and security advisories for vulnerabilities that can be "found with a simple prompt to an LLM." The decision follows a surge in AI-assisted vulnerability discovery, including an audit in July that flagged nearly 5,000 potential flaws across 390 bitcoin projects, 85 of them critical.
