Claude flagged 493 issues reducing the attack surface of OSS code
Anthropic pointed its Claude models at 25 widely used open-source projects and set them a different task: not finding individual bugs, but finding code that attackers can reach when they should not be able to. Claude flagged 493 such issues. One of them had sat in the software for 21 years. The work is a […] This story continues at The Next Web

IT Security News - cybersecurity, infosecurity newsAnthropic finds 94 cases where open-source projects drop security controls without warning
Software can expose complex functionality to unauthenticated users even when that functionality is disabled or unnecessary. Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team used Claude to examine 25 open-source projects and reported 493 issues involving unnecessary exposure, conflicting settings, and code running before security checks. Attack surface reduction means limiting the parts of software an attacker can reach. Instead of waiting to discover a vulnerabili…
Anthropic states that Claude identified 493 unnecessary exposure problems in 25 open source projects.The analysis sought to reduce the accessible code without relying on finding a specific vulnerability.In OpenSSH, maintainers incorporated changes that limited access to experimental key analysis code.
