Launching an opt-in vulnerability-finding service for open-source software - Anthropic
Anthropic announced OSS Scanner, an opt-in service that uses its models to run thorough, periodic security scans of open-source software repositories and alert projects to potential vulnerabilities at no cost. According to the source, open-source projects that opt in could be alerted about possible security issues sooner; the trade-off is described as stemming from how OSS Scanner works. The service is described as free to participating open-source projects and uses Anthropic's strongest models for periodic scanning; participation is opt-in rather than automatic, and the company maintains a public repository for the service.
