Bugcrowd announces rating taxonomy for LLMs

Bugcrowd has announced updates to its Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy (VRT), which categorizes and prioritizes crowdsourced vulnerabilities. 

The new update specifically addresses vulnerabilities in Large Language Models (LLMs) for the first time. The VRT is an open-source initiative aiming to standardize how suspected vulnerabilities reported by hackers are classified. 

“This new release of VRT not only opens up a new form of offensive security research and red teaming to program participants, but it helps companies increase their scope to include these additional attack vectors,” said Ads Dawson, senior security engineer for LLM platform provider Cohere and a key contributor to the release. “I am looking forward to seeing how this VRT release will influence researchers and companies looking to fortify their defenses against these newly introduced attack concepts.”

In 2016, Bugcrowd launched VRT, initially developed as an in-house tool. It has since become an open-source project for collaboration among Bugcrowd’s customers, application security engineers, and researchers. The VRT serves as a shared framework for assessing the severity of cybersecurity risks, and adapting to the evolving threat landscape.

Bugcrowd’s VRT establishes a baseline technical severity rating for common vulnerability classes, considering potential variations in edge cases. This rating is determined by Bugcrowd’s application security engineers, who begin with widely-accepted industry guidelines. They then factor in the vulnerability’s average acceptance rate, average priority, and its frequency on business use case-specific exclusions lists across all Bugcrowd programs to arrive at the baseline technical severity rating.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
