Anthropic launched the "Cyber Mission" program on October 8, featuring a new tool called OSS Scanner that uses its most capable models to regularly scan open-source projects for vulnerabilities.
The tool aims to address resource shortages among open-source maintainers, particularly small volunteer teams supporting critical infrastructure. It automatically flags vulnerabilities, explains them, and suggests patches. However, Anthropic acknowledges that these reports are shipped without human review and may contain errors.
The company states an expected accuracy above 90 percent. This figure is based on internal testing and has not been independently verified. Eligible open-source projects can opt in via GitHub.
