Anil Madhavapeddy released a cohttp 6.3.0 path-traversal fix and found percent-encoded traversal probes hitting his live webserver about ten minutes after the public PR went up. He reproduced the exploit locally with an agent in under a minute, after Claude Fable refused and DeepSeek V4 Pro complied. In the HN thread, rclone maintainer Nick Craig-Wood reported over 40 security disclosures in the last month against roughly 20 in the project's first ten years, about 75% containing something real, with GitHub CVE assignment slipping from 2-3 days to 3-4 weeks. rclone now ships releases marked CVE-PENDING. Madhavapeddy's argument is that embargo-based open source security process no longer buys any time. I think he's right, and I don't know what replaces it. (anil.recoil.org)
