OCaml Maintainer: Exploits Now Arrive Within 10 Minutes of a Bug Rumor
Cambridge professor and OCaml maintainer Anil Madhavapeddy reports attackers probing OCaml infrastructure for exploits within about ten minutes of a security issue being shared for discussion, before any patch or release.
What it is
A post by OCaml core maintainer Anil Madhavapeddy describing how quickly attackers now react once a security issue is even discussed, based on real traffic seen on OCaml project infrastructure.
What it does
Documents a shift from the old norm of a few days to a week before exploit attempts appear, down to roughly ten minutes after a bug is merely rumored or discussed, before any patch exists.
Why it matters
If discussion alone triggers exploitation attempts, coordinated disclosure timelines built around days-to-patch assumptions are obsolete, and maintainers of any language ecosystem, not just OCaml, need to rethink how they talk about unpatched issues in public.
