Anthropic launches free AI security scans for open-source projects

Anthropic's new OSS Scanner gives opted-in open-source projects periodic vulnerability scans by its strongest models at no cost. Reports are fully model-generated, with no human review or triage, so some may be incorrect or invalid.

Why it matters: This turns the security-team access Anthropic recently widened into a public-good service, and shifts the bottleneck from finding bugs to triaging them. Maintainers who are already stretched may face a flood of unverified reports, echoing the maintainer burden seen with AI-generated bug and math submissions.
