Anthropic OSS Scanner offers free scans, with reports that have no human review
Accepted open-source projects can get periodic scans at no cost. AI reports arrive without human review and may be wrong. Core maintainers apply through GitHub.
What changed
Anthropic announced OSS Scanner on October 8. Accepted open-source projects can receive periodic security scans by Anthropic's strongest models at no cost. This is an opt-in service. Core maintainers enroll through a pull request to the official GitHub repository. Acceptance is case by case.
Why it matters
Reports explain a possible vulnerability and include a self-contained reproducer. A candidate patch is included when available. The service aims to give maintainers findings sooner, without waiting for Anthropic's normal human-review process. Maintainers still need to check and triage each report.
Reality Check
Reports are fully model-generated and have no human review or triage before delivery. They may be incorrect or invalid. Eligibility focuses on established projects with a critical impact on infrastructure and user security, not every personal project. We have not tested the scanner.
