Open-source maintainers can now get free Claude vulnerability scans

Anthropic launched its Cyber Mission, including OSS Scanner, a free opt-in service that scans open-source projects with frontier Claude models and returns a proof-of-concept, an explanation and a suggested fix. Anthropic also cut Sonnet 5.5 cache-read pricing on the Claude Platform to $0.10 per million tokens, half the previous rate, while input stays at $2 and output at $10 and Claude Code usage limits do not change. A new empirical study measured agent Skills against a no-Skill baseline across nine model and harness configurations and found Skills flipped from helpful to harmful on more than a third of tasks, depending on the setup.
