OpenClaw Founder Criticizes GitHub’s Vulnerability Reporting System Amid AI-Generated Noise
OpenClaw founder Steinberger has publicly criticized GitHub's vulnerability reporting system, citing administrative restrictions and an overwhelming influx of AI-generated reports. His concerns carry weight given his track record as a repeat founder and his recent affiliation with OpenAI, where OpenClaw now resides as an open-source project.
The security page for OpenClaw explicitly states a preference for vetted reports from researchers who genuinely understand the issues, a policy that aligns with Steinberger's frustration over the deteriorating signal-to-noise ratio in vulnerability disclosures. OpenAI, meanwhile, is developing an agentic security researcher system that integrates with GitHub, potentially exacerbating the issue of automated noise.
