Claude Code Security finds 500 bugs that evaded experts for decades
The Summary: Anthropic launched Claude Code Security, an AI tool that finds bugs in code by reasoning about how components interact. The tool found over 500 previously undetected vulnerabilities in production open-source code, some hidden for decades. The system operates under human supervision, with developers reviewing and approving suggested fixes.
Key details:
Available initially as limited research preview for Enterprise and Team customers, with free access for open-source maintainers
Assigns severity and confidence ratings to each finding, filtering false positives through multi-stage verification
Unlike real-time intrusion detection systems, Claude Code Security focuses only on static code analysis and patch suggestion
Why it matters: This may change the security game since both defenders and attackers will get the same capability. The tool works by reasoning about code context rather than pattern matching, catching subtle logic flaws that traditional scanners may ignore. For developers, this means AI starts to understand what code actually does at a security level.
