Claude Helps Secure Open Source as Anthropic Offers Free security flaw Scanning

What happened

Anthropic launches free OSS Scanner, using AI to find open-source vulnerabilities and help maintainers fix bugs before attackers exploit them. Anthropic is launching OSS Scanner, a vulnerability scanner for open-source (published so anyone may read, use and change the code) code that costs nothing for projects to join. Anthropic is an artificial intelligence company based in San Francisco, and its products and services include Claude and Claude Code.

It grew directly out of lessons learned running Claude against real-world targets during Project Glasswing. The backdrop here is a genuinely fast shift in what these models can actually do. On CyberGym, an academic benchmark for vulnerability finding, LLMs went from catching under 20 percent of known flaws at the start of last year to over 85 percent this year.
