Apple Caps AI‑Generated Security Reports After Fake Vulnerabilities
Apple is a big tech company that makes computers and phones.
Some people use AI tools to find problems in Apple’s software.
A lot of the problems found by the AI were made up, which made Apple’s security team very busy.
To help, Apple decided to limit how many AI‑found problems can stay open at once.
This means researchers can’t keep too many reports open, but it also means some real problems might not get reported.
Apple is also adding a new safety feature to its Mac computers to keep memory safe.
The company still checks every report by hand, which takes more time for its workers.
Apple has capped the number of open AI‑generated security reports to ease review pressure.
The cap followed a surge of 50 macOS flaw submissions, many of which were AI hallucinations.
Researchers, including Bynarios, were prevented from reporting a privilege‑escalation vulnerability due to the new limit.
Apple’s security team now manually verifies every submission, increasing staff workload.
The company also rolled out Memory Integrity Enforcement, a major macOS memory‑security upgrade.
