Anthropic launches free AI security scans for open-source projects

Anthropic's new OSS Scanner will check open-source code for vulnerabilities on a regular schedule, at no cost for projects that sign up, using its strongest models including Claude Mythos. The reports get no human review, so some findings may be wrong, and the move comes as maintainers struggle with floods of AI-generated bug reports.
