The security@ inbox has so much junk these days with someone reporting that if you paste alert('hacked') into devtools then it makes the website hacked!

I reckon only 1% of reports are valid.

LLM's can now make a plausible looking exploit report ('there is a use after free bug in your server side implementation of X library which allows shell access to your server if you time these two API calls correctly'), but the LLM has made the whole thing up. That can easily waste hours of an experts time for a total falsehood.

I can completely see why some companies decide it'll be an office-hours-only task to go through all the reports every day.

My favorite was "we can trigger your website to initiate a connection to the server we control". They were running their own mail servers and were creating a new accounts on our website. Of course someone needs to initiate a TCP connection to deliver an email message!

Of course this could be a real vulnerability if it would disclose the real server IP behind cloudflare. This was not the case, we were sending via AWS email gateway
