    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Fri May 29 06:40:26 2026
    IBM has sent out a
    press release touting a claimed $5˙billion investment into an
    operation called Project Lightwell:

    Project Lightwell will establish a trusted enterprise clearinghouse
    combined with a global force of engineers to identify and fix
    vulnerabilities at scale. The clearinghouse will serve as a
    security coordination layer, using advanced AI capabilities to
    validate and test fixes across an unprecedented volume of open
    source code. These capabilities will be offered through commercial
    subscriptions, allowing enterprises to integrate secure patches
    directly into their existing software supply chains with
    enterprise-grade validation and lifecycle management.

    Toward the bottom, it does also mention sharing vulnerability information
    with upstream projects.
