I have to wonder if JFrog is putting out a blog article about CVEs and LLMs to try and pollute search results so it's harder to see the absolutely immense CVE where Artifactory was not validating tokens when the user requests a refresh token: https://app.opencve.io/cve/CVE-2026-65616

If they really wanted to do that, they'd follow OneUptime's example of generating a massive number of "how to" guides as bulk-posted blog articles. Doesn't help that much of the "how to" information technically is correct, and that's an example of next-generation SEO via LLMs. Places can drown out other voices by generating massive volumes of correct information related to the topic and simply omitting the embarrassing aspects.
