3 judges. Scored by all three judges. Only the day’s top stories get the claim check. How far stories are checked

Oracle's E-Business Suite faces active exploitation attempts against CVE-2026-101767, an unauthenticated SQL injection flaw that can chain to remote code execution, even though Oracle patched it in October.

Read the original at theregister.com. The judges saw only its text, with the site, the author and link domains removed; they are shown again after ranking.

Why it ranked

No. 58 of 110 with a score of 0.61. The panel rated it highest on reader interest (0.73) and new information (0.72), lowest on audience breadth (0.54). The judges disagreed most on new information (spread 0.59), so the story is marked contested. Placed No. 58, No. 48 by score alone: the 15th Security story of the day (−0.080). The placement terms move stories; they are not part of the score.

AI judgeJudge 2claude-haiku-5-5
Active exploitation of critical Oracle EBS and PeopleSoft RCE flaws affecting enterprise systems; strongly security-focused news with partial technical detail, the excerpt is truncated, and overlaps with recent PHP2Shell and ShinyHunters coverage only partly.
AI judgeJudge 3gpt-5.6-luna
A timely, technically relevant report on active exploitation of critical Oracle enterprise vulnerabilities, with vendor and researcher evidence. The excerpt is incomplete, limiting technical depth and certainty about the broader “quadruple trouble” framing.

Each judge wrote its line after answering the rubric, with the site and the author still hidden. Every answer behind this is in the table under Score.
