🚨 NEW: Bitcoin Core changes its security rules as AI makes some vulnerabilities discoverable with a SIMPLE PROMPT. Developers will now fast-track fixes for easily discoverable flaws across ALL maintained versions, publishing security advisories alongside the updates instead of applying lengthy disclosure embargoes. Developer Antoine Poinsot says AI has sharply lowered the barrier to finding bugs and spotting quietly introduced fixes making prolonged secrecy less effective. Other vulnerabilities retain their existing disclosure timelines, which can extend to roughly a year after a fix ships. The change aims to get patches to node operators faster; it does not announce a new Bitcoin exploit or network compromise.
