AI slop attacks on the curl project (froscon2025)
from Chaos Computer Club - recent events feed (high quality) · host Daniel Stenberg
In these days of "vibe coding" and chatbots, users ask AIs for help with everything. Asked to find security problems in Open Source projects, AI bots tell users something that sounds right. Reporting these "findings" wastes everyone's time and causes much frustration and fatigue. Daniel shows how this looks, how it creates a DDoS on projects and how totally beyond absurd this is. With examples and insights from the curl project. Licensed to the public under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 about this event: https://programm.froscon.org/2025/events/3407.html
