UnverifiedA vulnerability bounty is a mechanism by which vendors publicly invite security researchers to test their systems and pay rewards based on vulnerability severity.77% similarUnverifiedAs frontier model capabilities improve, the security risks posed by reward hacking will not naturally subside but may instead intensify.75% similarVerifiedAgent security risks are often not code vulnerabilities but semantic-level manipulation, which is difficult to cover with conventional penetration testing tools.74% similarUnverifiedWhen a security vulnerability is combined with an extremely high system install base, the overall risk exposure is significantly amplified even if the attack was initially targeted.74% similarUnverifiedWhen a risk control system identifies the submission of a vulnerability report involving sensitive functionality as a threat signal and triggers a ban, it incentivizes security personnel to opt for full disclosure instead, posing greater risks to the company.74% similar
