AI-generated low-quality content, known as AI slop, has increasingly infiltrated the internet, affecting websites and social media as well as the cybersecurity field. In the past year, cybersecurity professionals have noted the rise of AI slop bug bounty reports, which falsely claim vulnerabilities generated by large language models rather than actual findings. These reports appear convincing but are ultimately hallucinations produced by LLMs, causing significant frustration within the industry as genuine vulnerabilities are obscured by misleading information.
People are receiving reports that sound reasonable, they look technically correct. And then you end up digging into them, trying to figure out, 'oh no, where is this vulnerability?'.
It turns out it was just a hallucination all along. The technical details were just made up by the LLM.
If you ask it for a report, it's going to give you a report. And then people will copy and paste these into the bug bounty platforms and overwhelm the platforms themselves.
That's the problem people are running into, is we're getting a lot of stuff that looks like gold, but it's actually just crap.
