Anthropic launches OSS Scanner, a free service that audits open source projects with its strongest models

MarkTechPost· 25 Oct

Anthropic's OSS Scanner, launched on 8 October, is a free, opt-in service that audits critical open source projects with its strongest models, including Claude Mythos. In its first 11 days it reported 77 critical and 803 high model-rated findings. Of 97 critical and high findings audited by penetration testers, 85 met the bar for disclosure and one was invalid. Reports go to maintainers without human review.

  • Keep the plugins, libraries and server software behind your website updated, since fixes from scans like this arrive as routine updates.
  • If you depend on one open source tool, check whether it is enrolled and watch for its next security release.
