Mythos finds a curl vulnerability
Anthropic's AI model, Mythos, was touted for its advanced security flaw detection capabilities, but its real-world impact has been met with skepticism. While Anthropic claimed Mythos was exceptionally good at finding vulnerabilities, the curl project maintainer reported that the AI only identified a single low-severity flaw after extensive analysis. This has led to criticism that the hype surrounding Mythos was largely a marketing stunt, especially given the project's existing robust security scanning practices which have already uncovered hundreds of bugs.
