Pull request overview
This PR introduces a new RFC proposing updates to the Open Device Partnership’s security policy guidance for handling vulnerabilities identified with AI assistance, aiming to treat such findings as public information to reduce embargo-related risk and delays.
Changes:
- Adds a new RFC document defining the motivation, goals, and requirements for AI-assisted security bug reporting.
- Includes “prior art” and a proposed SECURITY.md template update that adds a “Security Bugs Found Using AI” section.
- Documents alternatives and explicitly scopes out code/design considerations (N/A sections).

- In GitHub’s branding, “GitHub” should be capitalized as such (currently “Github”).
To do so, please reach out in the form of a
[Github Security Advisory](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/security-advisories/guidance-on-reporting-and-writing-information-about-vulnerabilities).
rfc/0000-ai-security-policy.md:40
- Typo/consistency: “AI assisted” should be hyphenated as the compound adjective “AI-assisted” to match usage elsewhere (e.g., “AI-assisted discovery”).
- The template must state that AI assisted findings are treated as public information.
- Reporters should still avoid posting public information to reproduce the bug, but be ready to offer it privately
on request.

Should we define a quality bar for AI assisted security bug? Like it has to be reproducible.
Using curl as an example, they get a lot of low quality AI findings.
