# Patch the Planet: global response coordination as agents uncover critical vulnerabilities

## Retrieval answer

OpenAI has announced Patch the Planet, an initiative for coordinated disclosure and response to critical vulnerabilities across open-source software.

OpenAI has announced Patch the Planet, an initiative for coordinated disclosure and response to critical vulnerabilities across open-source software.

The company says the effort connects security researchers, maintainers, and incident responders. Its stated purpose is to help address critical vulnerabilities as agents uncover them, linking discovery with the people responsible for remediation and incident response. The announcement presents the initiative as a coordination effort across these roles rather than as a newly released model, API, or security product.

The source does not identify specific vulnerabilities, affected projects, participating maintainers, or incident-response organizations. It does not name the agents or models involved, describe the disclosure workflow, set a timeline, state eligibility or access conditions, or provide counts of findings, patches, or remediated projects. No pricing, technical specifications, or independently measured results are provided in the announcement.

The source is OpenAI's public announcement: https://openai.com/index/coordinated-disclosure-of-critical-vulnerabilities
