- parhamn 15d ago> Valuations for server-side vulnerabilities are low, because vendors don't compete for them. Why don't they?
- devmor 15d agoBecause as soon as they are patched, they are worthless. People pay for vulnerabilities because they want to exploit them - if there’s a limited window, there’s limited demand. Even if there’s something worth a lot behind the exploit, a potential criminal would be better off obtaining whatever that is and selling it instead.

- kerenskiy 15d agoOkay, then first download all their sources (perhaps with model weights?) and sell that. Not the bug itself
- tptacek 15d agoNow you're not selling a vulnerability, you're planning a heist. That is a thing you can do!
- lbrandy 15d agoYou and I have both been here on HN nearing 20 years and you’ve been making this comment to that comment about bug bounties and the supposed black market value of exploits for the whole time. I suspect you’ll never run out of threads to correct. Thank you for your service.
- Mohansrk 15d agocurious, the bug allows dumping private repositories of openai, that sure has black market right?
- akerl_ 15d agoWhat criminal enterprise does getting private OpenAI repos fit into?
