A Statement from the Program Committee
The paper entitled "Open Source Insecurity: Stealthily Introducing Vulnerabilities via Hypocrite Commits" by Qiushi Wu and Kangjie Lu from the University of Minnesota was accepted to and later withdrawn by the authors from the 42nd IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (IEEE S&P'21). In this statement, the Program Committee (PC) of IEEE S&P'21 would like to comment on both the technical and ethical aspects of this paper, and reflect on how the process can be improved to prevent or mitigate some of the concerns this submission raised. We also outline the planned changes for future S&P conferences to address more generally the ethical concerns in computer security research.
