What is being phrased as obscurity is one of the approaches to security as long as you are able to keep the code safe. Your passwords, security keys are just random combination of strings, the fact that they are obscure from everyone is what provides you the security

Decompilation and you are back to the level of security you started with. OpenSSH is open for a good reason. Please acknowledge your error. Are you AI?
How do you decompile a SaaS? They're a SaaS.

OTOH, their position seems to be "many LLMs make shallow bugs" is unhelpful; same as many eyes make shallow bugs considered unhelpful.

What seems genuinely needed by the open source economy to both surface these latent vulns and tamp down finding-slop is a new https://bughook.github.com/your/repo/ that these big LLMs (Mythos, etc.) support. Mythos understands if it's been used to find an vuln, and back end auto-reports verified findings the git service can feed to a Dependabot type tool.

Even better, price up Mythos to cover running a background verifier that gets the project, revalidates the issue, before that bughook.

Meanwhile, train it on these findings, so its future self doesn't create them.
