What happened
Anthropic launched a new service called OSS Scanner that offers free vulnerability reports for open‑source projects. The service uses Anthropic’s strongest models, including Claude Mythos, to generate the reports entirely without human review or triage. Participation is opt‑in and scans are described as thorough and periodic.

This could give open‑source maintainers regular, automated security insights without needing dedicated security staff, allowing them to address issues more quickly. However, because the reports are fully model‑generated and not manually vetted, users may still need to verify findings before acting.
