FuzzingLabs publicly accused Gecko Security of copying its vulnerability PoCs, re-submitting them to obtain CVE assignments, and backdating blog posts to appear as original reporters; Gecko says the overlap was an unintentional duplication, has updated credits and dates, and disputes the plagiarism claims. The dispute centers on responsible disclosure, duplicate reporting workflows, and attribution of credit for vulnerability research rather than evidence of active exploitation.
