Anthropic on Thursday unveiled OSS Scanner<\/a> as an opt-in vulnerability scanner to help secure the open-source ecosystem using artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n

\u00abIt’s an opt-in service informed by our experience using Claude to find vulnerabilities during Project Glasswing,\u00bb Anthropic said<\/a>. \u00abProjects that join will receive thorough, periodic security scans by our strongest models at no cost.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Anthropic also noted that the outputs of the scanner will be fully model-generated and do not require human review or triage, thereby facilitating faster and more frequent scanning. These reports are expected to be generated by its strongest models, including Claude Mythos.<\/p>\n

The company pointed out that it expects to use a set of criteria similar to Google’s OSS-Fuzz<\/a> to pick projects, while emphasizing that the process may evolve over time. Project maintainers are advised to provide a short description explaining the importance of their project in cases where \u00abit is not already self-evident.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Core maintainers of a project can enroll by opening a pull request on the OSS Scanner’s GitHub repository<\/a> along with a YAML configuration file that provides the following information –<\/p>\n
