My hunch is that the dumbasses submitting those reports were't actually using coding agent harnesses at all - they were pasting blocks of code into ChatGPT or other non-agent-harness tools and asking for vulnerabilities and reporting what came back.

An "agent harness" here is software that directly writes and executes code to test that it works. A vulnerability reported by such an agent harness with included proof-of-concept code that has been demonstrated to work is a different thing from an "exploit" that was reported by having a long context model spit out a bunch of random ideas based purely on reading the code.

I'm confident you can still find dumbasses who can mess up at using coding agent harnesses and create invalid, time wasting bug reports. Dumbasses are gonna dumbass.
