The tool has surfaced roughly 29,000 possible vulnerabilities in open source software, while only 516 have been resolved. That wide gap illustrates a familiar cybersecurity challenge: finding flaws can be easier than coordinating fixes across many projects. Because open source components are widely reused, remediation may depend on maintainers and contributors acting across separate codebases. The figures suggest that detection alone does not guarantee timely patching at scale." Count words: Anthropic(1) introduced2 OSS3 Scanner4 through5 its6 Cyber7 Mission8.
