Launching an opt-in vulnerability-finding service for open-source software

Anthropic has launched OSS Scanner, a service that provides automated security vulnerability assessments for open-source software projects. By offering these scans at no cost using its advanced models, the company aims to help maintainers identify and address security flaws within their codebases. This initiative lowers the barrier for developers to access sophisticated analysis tools, potentially improving the security posture of widely used software libraries. Projects must opt in to participate in the periodic reviews.
