Anthropic launches OSS Scanner, a free AI vulnerability scanner for open-source projects
nordicinst · x · 2026-10-09
Anthropic has introduced OSS Scanner, a free vulnerability-scanning service that uses its latest Claude models to find security flaws in open-source software projects and generate bug reports.
- The service is opt-in, offering periodic security scans to eligible open-source projects at no cost.
- It draws on lessons from Anthropic's Project Glasswing vulnerability research, aiming to help maintainers discover and fix weaknesses before attackers exploit them.
- Anthropic says language models have become significantly more capable at finding software vulnerabilities, framing this as part of its push into AI-powered cybersecurity.
