  1. Anthropic's free OSS Scanner: who audits the auditor?

    On Oct 8, 2026, Anthropic launched two free arrangements under the name Anthropic Cyber Mission: the Critical Infrastructure Defense Program (CIDP), which puts frontier Claude models, embedded engineers and threat research behind 11 founding partners including Accenture, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, Palo Alto Networks, PwC and Rockwell Automation to protect power-grid, water and transport OT systems; and OSS Scanner, a free opt-in service using Anthropic's strongest models, including Claude Mythos, to scan open-source projects. The piece says the models found over 29,000 candidate vulnerabilities in six months, with only about 6,000 human-reviewed and nearly 5,000 unverified reports plus candidate patches sent straight to maintainers, and that fast-track findings are neither subject to a 90-day disclosure window nor published. It argues the structural problem is one company being model vendor, open-source auditor, critical-infrastructure gatekeeper and arbiter of what counts as a vulnerability, citing VulnCheck's September comparison in which Claude rated 91.5% of findings high or critical versus maintainers' 51.3%.

  2. Anthropic launches Cyber Mission, including free OSS Scanner

    Anthropic announced on October 8 the Anthropic Cyber Mission, a long-term effort starting with two areas: critical infrastructure and open-source software. The Critical Infrastructure Defense Program gives defenders of power grids, water systems and transport networks access to frontier models, on-site engineers and threat research, with 11 founding partners including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Deloitte, Rockwell Automation and Hitachi. The companion OSS Scanner offers opt-in open-source projects free periodic scans whose reports are fully model-generated with no human review or triage, so findings may be incorrect; Anthropic said about 88% of 97 critical and high-severity findings checked across 48 projects met disclosure criteria, while other reports cite the company expecting more than 90%.
