Anthropic offers free AI vulnerability scans to open-source software projects
First reported
SiliconANGLE and The Verge ran this on , a day before the other 2 sources picked it up.
- Anthropic, the company behind the Claude chatbot, launched OSS Scanner, a free service that checks open-source software for security flaws.
- Opted-in projects get periodic scans by Anthropic's strongest models, including Claude Mythos, with no human review of the reports.
- Because no person checks the results, some reports may be incorrect or invalid, which means maintainers must verify them.
