# anthropics/oss-scanner

> Anthropic service that scans critical open-source repositories for vulnerabilities: the project is built in an isolated VM without network access, and a report with a reproducer and patch is emailed. Enrollment happens via a PR with a project.yaml config and Dockerfile.

- Magnitude: 6.5 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 93 total · +13 stars measured 2026-10-09, 03:36–04:59 UTC, ≈ 80 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## 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

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-09 (UTC), 03:36–04:59: 80 → 93 stars (+13). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +80 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 93 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #161.
- About 188 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @Brooooooklyn (5,091 followers), @maliming (3,817 followers), @strickvl (483 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 69
- Issues and pull requests: 62
- Watchers: 3
- Average over the last week: 87 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 10

## Stars per day, last 6 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-04 … 2026-10-09: 0, 0, 0, 0, 93, 13

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
