  • Many of the CVSS scores look like: "CVSS:3.1/AV/AC:L/..." where it should be "AV:L", but the bot, which again only knows statistically what a CVSS score looks like, is generating gibberish.
  • the diffs for "suggested fixes" have been generated by something that doesn't actually know anything about how diffs are formed, either in terms of process or meaningfully in structure:
    • they're missing file names, line numbers, and function names
    • all leading whitespace, including after "-" or "+" line markers, is missing
    • in some of the diffs, hyphens (especially for delete lines) are just missing? But sometimes "--" has been combined to "—"
