Project Glasswing utilized the Claude Mythos Preview model to scan open-source code, specifically prioritizing operating systems because they underpin the entire internet infrastructure.

Claude Mythos autonomously found and chained together several vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel, allowing an attacker to escalate from an ordinary user to complete control of the machine.

Anthropic believes that providing software developers with advanced AI tools, such as Claude Mythos Preview, offers a collective headstart in identifying and remediating vulnerabilities more rapidly.

The ultimate goal of Project Glasswing is to enhance the safety of global software, customer data, financial transactions, and critical infrastructure.

Project Glasswing reported the discovered OpenBSD and Linux vulnerabilities to their respective maintainers, who then implemented and deployed the necessary patches.

Project Glasswing is an Anthropic project collaborating with major software companies like Cisco, Nvidia, Microsoft, Palo Alto, Broadcom, and VMware.
