Am I reading the thread correctly? This fuzzer found a "new" issue that was already identified in 2024? This matches what I've heard before about GenAI reporting known errors likely because they were trained on the internet as it's data source.

This fuzzer doesn't seem to be an AI/LLM based tool.

No bug discovered. No "vibecoding" detected.

Gotta love tech "journalism".

With a history like ffmpegs, it's just very likely that fuzzer findings have already been reported once. That the fuzzer is vibecoded is kinda irrelevant

In theory they can "find" new things, but typically it's based on other training data.
