Overview

AISummary of one article

Anthropic is launching OSS Scanner, an opt-in service that runs periodic security scans of enrolled open-source projects using its strongest models at no cost.

Its outputs are fully model-generated without human review, so some reports may be incorrect or invalid, though a pilot found 85 of 97 checked critical and high-severity findings met Anthropic's disclosure bar. Core maintainers of eligible projects can enroll through a GitHub pull request.
