Re:Google's OSS-Fuzz expands fuzz-reward program to $30000 by SnowflakeOnIce on Thursday February 02, 2023 @03:50PM (#34632783)
Very interesting!

A lot of software projects that have "OSS Fuzz integration" have very naive or superficial fuzz harnesses that couldn't ever get thorough coverage.

If the code is never executed by the fuzzer, bugs won't be found by fuzzing.

In your case, fuzzing your application code, you likely end up executing code in those dependencies that their own fuzzers miss.
