Crypto projects apply for Anthropic’s new frontier AI security scanner
Anthropic’s new opt-in service promises vulnerability reports from its strongest AI models, including Claude Mythos.
Anthropic, an AI company, has launched a new opt-in service called OSS Scanner that provides vulnerability reports from its strongest AI models, including Claude Mythos, to open-source projects. Several crypto companies, such as Ethereum client developer Nethermind, Bitcoin and Lightning wallet ZEUS, and decentralized cloud computing marketplace VirtEngine, have applied for the program.
Anthropic aims to give open-source developers a significant defensive advantage by sharing vulnerability reports generated by their most powerful AI models. The company noted that while it already scans open source software for vulnerabilities, the manual review process is slow, and the new service will deliver reports as soon as the code has been scanned.
Nethermind has applied for audits of its entire repository, while ZEUS has asked to examine its app for weaknesses affecting payments, private keys, and connection to Lightning Services. Other applicants include developers of AI assistants, agent-security tools, machine-learning infrastructure, software development tools, cloud storage, and energy-system controls.
Anthropic will assess each project individually, considering their importance to infrastructure and user security, exposure to remote attacks, and the number of users or other projects that depend on them.
