Anthropic's Claude AI finds hundreds of Firefox security bugs

Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 and Claude Mythos Preview models have been instrumental in identifying numerous security vulnerabilities within Mozilla's Firefox browser. In a collaboration, these AI models discovered 22 high-severity vulnerabilities, contributing to Firefox 148.0. A subsequent evaluation with Claude Mythos Preview identified a total of 271 vulnerabilities, with three specifically credited as zero-days (CVE-2026-6746, CVE-2026-6757, CVE-2026-6758), leading to fixes in Firefox 150. This partnership highlights the accelerating speed at which AI can detect severe security flaws, with Mozilla noting a significant reduction in false positives compared to earlier AI-assisted efforts.
