Anthropic launches OSS Scanner: free AI-powered vulnerability scans for critical open source projects
ClaudeDevs · x · 2026-10-20
Anthropic launched OSS Scanner, an opt-in service giving critical open source projects free, periodic vulnerability scans powered by its strongest models, informed by Project Glasswing.
- Each finding includes a proof-of-concept and, where possible, a patch
- Over six months Anthropic's models found 29,000+ candidate vulnerabilities, but humans could only triage 6,000 reports
- Projects enroll by submitting a PR; accepted reports skip human review via the fast track, while the classic CVD process remains
- Eligibility mirrors OSS-Fuzz criteria: remote attack exposure, dependents, OpenSSF criticality score, license, usage
