Anthropic launches OSS Scanner and cyber defense program
What happened
On October 8, Anthropic launched the opt-in OSS Scanner, which uses its strongest models, including Claude Mythos, to give eligible open source projects free periodic security scans. Reports are generated entirely by the model with no human review or triage, and include standalone reproduction steps, an explanation of the vulnerability and candidate patches where available; reports may contain errors or invalid findings. Follow-up first-hand reporting the same day said Anthropic started a long-term cybersecurity program, Anthropic Cyber Mission, alongside the Critical Infrastructure Defense Program (CIDP) and OSS Scanner, to support defenses for critical infrastructure and open source software.
