Anthropic launches free AI security scans for open-source projects

Anthropic has announced the launch of OSS Scanner, a service designed to help open-source projects track security vulnerabilities. The service will conduct thorough, periodic security scans using the company's strongest models at no cost to participating projects. OSS Scanner allows open-source projects to receive early alerts about potential security issues, but the generated reports will lack human review. This means that while scans will be faster and more frequent, there is a risk that the reports may be incorrect or invalid.
