Project Zero overhauls disclosure policy: AI made the 90+30-day timeline insufficient

Google Project Zero updates its 2021-era "90+30" vulnerability disclosure policy. Key arguments: LLMs have dramatically sped up vulnerability discovery and exploitation, raising the risk of multiple parties finding the same bug; patch soak time is meaningless now that attackers can reverse-engineer bugs from patches almost instantly, making zero patch-to-exploitation time a reasonable attacker model. AI has also multiplied Project Zero's findings — from a few per year to several per week — so vendors must patch faster and shrink patch gaps.
