Mozilla: Anthropic's Mythos Found 271 Security Vulnerabilities in Firefox 150
Mozilla said the Firefox team patched 271 vulnerabilities found with early access to Anthropic's new model as AI bug hunting accelerates.
- On Tuesday, Mozilla released Firefox 150, which includes protections for 271 vulnerabilities identified using early access to Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview.
- Firefox Chief Technology Officer Bobby Holley stated that emerging AI tools create a necessary 'bootcamp' for software, forcing developers to fix latent vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.
- Previously using Anthropic's Opus 4.6 model, the team found 22 bugs in Firefox 148, though AI currently cannot identify vulnerabilities that an elite human researcher could not.
- Describing the vulnerability haul as 'light at the end of the tunnel,' Holley asserted that 'defenders finally have a chance to win, decisively' against cyber threats.
- Because every piece of software has bugs now discoverable by AI, The Mozilla Foundation warned that all software must undergo this critical security transition.

Since then, debate has raged over whether the model presages an era of turbocharged AI-aided hacking or if Anthropic is just building hype for what is a relatively normal step up on the ladder of advancing AI capabilities.
