anthropics/oss-scanner

Security · Python

+241stars on 2026-10-09 · UTC

Useful for
  • Enroll an open-source project in the scanner via a PR with project.yaml and a Dockerfile
  • Verify the project build in an isolated container with tools/check before opening the PR
  • Write a threat_model.md so the scanner accounts for the project's security priorities
