Project
Anthropic's free, opt-in service that sends model-generated vulnerability reports to eligible open-source projects.
Anthropic's OSS Scanner sends maintainers Mythos findings before its researchers review them, with about 6,000 of 29,000-plus candidates triaged. The service is free and opt-in, and reports carry reproduction steps and proposed fixes where available.
Reality
Anthropic's Claude flagged more than 29,000 candidate open source vulnerabilities in six months, and upstream projects have patched 516 of them. Maintainers praise the reports, but each fix still ships only as fast as the project that tests and releases it.
Reality
Anthropic announced a Critical Infrastructure Defense Program that pairs Claude with outside security firms, CrowdStrike among them. Alongside it, Anthropic is running a free, opt-in scanning service for open-source maintainers directly, CyberScoop reported.

Anthropic's Cyber Mission puts Claude models, engineers and funding behind bug fixing, after Glasswing finds often waited months for a patch. Its free OSS Scanner sends unreviewed reports that Anthropic expects to be over 90% accurate, so it suits maintainers who have time to verify them.
Reality
Anthropic expects more than 90% of the unreviewed vulnerability reports its new OSS Scanner sends to open source maintainers to be real. Opt-in projects get findings faster and take on the work of catching the errors, such as wrong severity ratings.

Nethermind and ZEUS applied for Anthropic's OSS Scanner a day after it launched, asking for AI scans of Ethereum client and Bitcoin wallet code. Anthropic had manually checked about 6,000 of the 29,000-plus flaws its models flagged, crypto.news reported, so the teams that get the reports have to judge them.
Reality
Anthropic has launched OSS Scanner, a free opt-in service that sends open-source maintainers AI vulnerability reports no human has reviewed. The triage Anthropic skips falls to maintainers, so downstream teams should expect more upstream findings that a person still has to confirm.
