Anthropic Launches Free AI Vulnerability Scanner as Google’s Open Source Bug Bounty Halts

Anthropic released a free AI-powered vulnerability scanner for open-source software on October 8 — one week after Google halted its open-source bug bounty program, citing a flood of AI-generated invalid reports. The timing was not coincidental. The new tool, called OSS Scanner, is designed to address precisely the problem that overwhelmed Google's program: high volume without high quality. OSS Scanner is the first of two components in Anthropic's Cyber Mission, a long-term initiative the company announced on October 8.
