Description
OSS Scanner is Anthropic’s free, opt-in vulnerability-finding service for open-source projects, built on its strongest models including Claude Mythos. Maintainers enroll with a pull request. Each report comes with a reproducer, an explanation, and a candidate patch when available. In an early validation, 85 of 97 critical and high findings (88%) met the disclosure bar. Reports get no human review, so some may be wrong. Modeled on Google OSS-Fuzz.

Could you build this?
No This relies on proprietary frontier AI research and internal Anthropic foundation models (like Claude Mythos) specifically optimized for code auditing and formal verification.
What it would actually take: Requires access to state-of-the-art frontier reasoning models, massive automated sandboxing infrastructure to compile and run diverse open-source codebases, and specialized vulnerability-reproduction engines that generate verified PoCs and automated regression-free patches.
