Open Letter | Akrites

▤ Summary

This open letter announces Akrites, a coordinated effort to find, fix, and responsibly disclose vulnerabilities in critical open source software. The initiative brings together major technology, finance, and infrastructure organizations to support upstream remediation and reduce duplicate, noisy vulnerability reporting. It emphasizes confidential coordination, maintainers’ control, and patch deployment over public disclosure speed. The effort also positions participants to contribute engineering talent, security expertise, and funding to strengthen the open source ecosystem. The letter frames AI-driven vulnerability discovery as the key force making this coordination urgent.
