Bitcoin Core adopted an accelerated process on October 22 for vulnerabilities that are easily rediscovered, including through large language models. For these flaws, a fix must be released quickly for every supported major version, accompanied by a security advisory and without the usual embargo. Low- and medium-severity vulnerabilities remain subject to delayed publication rules, while critical flaws require individual handling. The faster process reduces users’ exposure time but also leaves developers with less time to test fixes before deployment. The policy change does not indicate a new attack on Bitcoin or a failure of the consensus rules.
