Lighthouse

Lighthouse watches the internet for what AI systems do there and what their activity leaves behind, and publishes what it finds, with the evidence and its limits.

Record available

When a fixed release says in its own notes that it fixes a security flaw, do pinned dependents move to it before the advisory is published, more than they move to a fix released silently?

The question

Do pinned dependents move sooner before an advisory when the fix’s own notes announce the flaw?

What the record says

The selected announced fixes had about 1.7 times the pooled pre-advisory move rate of silent fixes, while similar shares of moves came before the advisory. Few libraries and moves carried the difference, so the pattern cannot distinguish an effect of the notes from differences between libraries’ users.
