AI company Anthropic has launched OSS Scanner, a free, opt-in service to find vulnerabilities in open-source projects. Enrolled maintainers receive periodic security reports generated by the company's strongest models, including Claude Mythos. The reports are sent without human review, and project maintainers can choose to validate their findings and decide which proposed fixes to accept.
