Anthropic has launched an open-source security scanner that uses its AI models to identify vulnerabilities in code. The service, called OSS Scanner, emails bug reports directly to project maintainers without human review. While Anthropic claims a high true-positive rate and provides proposed patches, some users have noted issues with severity ratings and the scanner's understanding of their specific threat models. Reports are kept private unless a coordinated disclosure process is initiated. AI

RANK_REASON Product launch of an AI-powered security tool.
