Month of bugs

A month of bugs is a strategy used by security researchers to draw attention to the lax security procedures of commercial software corporations.
Researchers have started such a project for software products where they believe corporations have shown themselves to be unresponsive and uncooperative to security alerts. For example, when a company does not fix the error after a Responsible disclosure, one may find and disclose one security vulnerability each day for one month.

Examples

The original "Month of Bugs" was the Month of Browser Bugs run by security researcher H. D. Moore.
Subsequent similar projects include:

The Month of Kernel Bugs which published kernel bugs for Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and Windows, as well as four wireless driver bugs.
The Month of Apple Bugs conducted by researchers Kevin Finisterre and LMH which published bugs related to Mac OS X.
The Month of PHP Bugs sponsored by the Hardened PHP team which published 44 PHP bugs.
The Month of AI Bugs conducted by Johann Rehberger published bugs for agentic AI systems throughout the month of August 2025.
