Anthropic launches free AI security scans for open-source projects

Anthropic has launched OSS Scanner, a free service offering AI-powered security scans for open-source projects. Utilizing their "strongest models," including Mythos, the service provides periodic vulnerability reports without human review, aiming for faster and more frequent scanning. While this could help projects identify issues sooner, it also means reports might be incorrect or invalid. This initiative comes as AI tools increasingly assist in finding security flaws, though some open-source projects are struggling with the volume of AI-generated bug reports.
