Anthropic launches OSS Scanner, free unreviewed Claude security scans for critical open-source projects

Launched Oct 8 under the new Anthropic Cyber Mission, OSS Scanner gives enrolled projects periodic scans from Anthropic's strongest models, with a proof of concept and suggested fix per bug, sent without human review (Anthropic expects a true-positive rate above 90%). It's opt-in for established projects with critical infrastructure or user-security impact, and maintainers enroll by opening a PR to the anthropics/oss-scanner repo.

Claude Code 2.1.295 adds onFailure:block for hooks and Program Status Protocol for terminals

Released Oct 8, command and HTTP hooks can set onFailure: "block" so a hook that can't start, times out, or exits unexpectedly blocks the action instead of letting it through, and terminals that speak OSC 7501 can show whether Claude Code is working, waiting on you, or done. It also raises the MCP tool description cap through tool search from 2,048 to 16,384 characters, backs off remote MCP reconnects after outages, and folds in 2.1.294's fix for prompt/agent hooks that were allowing what they were written to block…
