Anthropic says its new OSS Scanner has identified more than 29,000 candidate vulnerabilities across widely used open source projects over six months. However, human reviewers and maintainers have only confirmed and patched a small fraction so far, highlighting a large verification backlog and an optional fast-track workflow for sending unvalidated reports directly to maintainers.
