Since AISLE reported 29 issues but only 6 warranted a CVE, and all the found CVEs were "low" severity, this makes me wonder if AISLE simply is tuned for a higher false positive rate than the anthropic and openai tools (which may have found the same 6 issues and decided not to report them)

As far as I understand it, the other efforts have not reported most of their findings to upstream developers, focusing on critical findings only.

This is understandable because upstream interactions at scale are difficult.

i don't think this is correct. if you look at this article by the curl founder daniel stenberg (https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/05/11/mythos-finds-a-curl-v...), he talks about how he previously ran Mythos on curl and that it found 5 issues: 1 turned out to be a low severity CVE, 3 were false positives, and 1 just a bug. So a) Mythos detects low severity CVEs too, and b) it is fairly noisy
