Subject: [PATCH 0/5] docs: improve guidance for AI-assisted bug reports
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 22:35:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260802203540.3453-1-w@1wt.eu> (raw)
While vulnerability reporters have now started CCing maintainers,
showing they read the docs, the security team still spends a lot of
time repeating the same comments about tested version, incomplete
fixes, poor email client setup causing formatting issues making
patches unusable, unverified reports and missing Assisted-By tags,
each time for AI-assisted reports.
This series adds small updates to security-bugs.rst, threat-model.rst
and coding-assistant.rst to better deal with this and provide minimal
instructions helping the LLM follow our expectations.
The updates were iteratively and carefully tested with 3 models,
Opus-5, Qwen3.6-27B-Architect-Polaris2-Fable-B-F451, and Gemini,
until all of them strictly followed the rules.
It is expected to further improve the situation.
Willy Tarreau (5):
docs: threat-model: clarify "security bug" vs "vulnerability"
docs: threat-model: move fake devices out of "non production use"
docs: security-bugs: clarify what counts as a valid version
docs: coding-assistant: explain important steps when looking for bugs
docs: security-bugs: clarify some mandatory steps for AI reports
