OSS Scanner is an Anthropic service that scans enrolled critical open-source repositories for security vulnerabilities. Maintainers enroll a project by opening a pull request that adds a project directory with a configuration file and Dockerfile; the Dockerfile sets up dependencies and builds the project, initially with network access enabled.
After the build, the project is moved into an isolated virtual machine with Internet access disabled for the security analysis. Findings are emailed to the configured contacts with reproduction steps and, where available, a proposed patch. Reports are model-generated and are not reviewed by a human. The repository includes validation and local-checking tools for testing the build and no-network audit environment before enrollment.

Anthropic's free service that hunts for security bugs in open-source projects. Maintainers sign up with a single pull request adding a config file and Dockerfile; the scanner builds the project in an isolated VM with internet access cut before scanning.
