Akrites marshals the open source community to counter AI threats

Akrites is a new, confidentiality-first coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) effort led by the Linux Foundation and major industry organizations to centralize validation, remediation, and disclosure of open-source software vulnerabilities discovered at AI-driven scale; the article summarizes founding members, the CVD/SIRT model and standards to be used (CVE, CVSS, TLP, etc.), and highlights challenges such as scaling, avoiding new bottlenecks, maintainer trust, and the need for risk-based prioritization and broader AppSec strategies.
