Apple Caps Bug Reports After AI Submission Flood
Apple raised top bug-bounty payouts above $5 million and added target flags as AI-generated reports overwhelmed its review team.
- Apple introduced a cap on bug bounty submissions alongside a 30-day cool-off period to manage a flood of AI-generated vulnerability reports overwhelming its review pipeline, according to the Financial Times.
- Large language models allow researchers to generate volumes of superficially plausible but often inaccurate vulnerability claims, forcing Apple's security team to validate findings at what experts describe as "machine speed."
- Italian cybersecurity firm Bynario reported that Apple blocked its submission of a serious Mac Screen Sharing vulnerability discovered via its GPT-5-powered Atlas platform, valued by the firm at up to $200,000.
- To sharpen signal quality, Apple raised its top bug bounty payout past $5 million for severe exploit chains and introduced "Target Flags" requiring researchers to prove vulnerabilities reach protected system parts.
- As other technology firms grapple with similar submission surges, Apple is simultaneously using AI from Anthropic and OpenAI to hunt vulnerabilities, resulting in five times as many fixes across its systems.

After all, not only has AI driven the cost of consumer electronics higher, but it is also being used to identify and exploit security vulnerabilities — whil…
