There was a problem hiding this comment.
Reads as reasonable.

In a private channel? I don't see it when I search.

Indeed it was a private chat, accompanied by an in-person conversation at WCEU the other day. |

This introduces a page that documents categories of security vulnerability reports that may be technically valid in isolation but violate no realistic threat model. The volume of such reports that the WordPress security team receives is still mostly manageable, but it's increasing along with the rate of AI-driven vulnerability reports.
This can serve as a central place to direct humans and bots that submit such reports.
Use of AI
Claude Code was used to draft the first version of this page. It did an ok job, but I essentially rewrote it to sound more human and trimmed out all the fluff.
