Anthropic launches free open-source scans and infrastructure defense program

Anthropic launched a free service that periodically scans enrolled open-source projects for vulnerabilities and a program that supplies Claude models, on-site engineers and threat research to providers securing critical infrastructure. The company says several infrastructure partners are already using Claude to fix vulnerabilities and help customers do the same. The opt-in OSS Scanner sends maintainers model-generated reports with exploit demonstrations, explanations and suggested fixes where available. Reports receive no human review and can contain inaccuracies, including incorrect severity ratings. Anthropic says the service is intended for projects able to handle the findings; others will continue receiving human-verified disclosures.
