Anthropic Adds AI-Powered Code Security Reviews

Anthropic Introduces Automated Security Reviews for Claude Code

On Wednesday, Anthropic unveiled new security review capabilities for its Claude Code platform, enabling developers to scan AI-generated code for vulnerabilities and receive fix suggestions instantly. As AI accelerates code creation, these tools address the growing gap between rapid development and manual security reviews.

Rising AI Code Risks Demand New Defenses

Traditional manual security checks can’t keep up with the surge in AI-assisted coding. Anthropic’s solution embeds analysis directly into developers’ workflows, using simple commands and automated pull request reviews to maintain speed without sacrificing safety.

• /security-review – Run from the terminal in a few keystrokes to scan new or existing code for high-confidence vulnerability assessments and fix recommendations.
• GitHub Action – Automatically triggers reviews on pull requests, posting inline comments on potential SQL injection, XSS, SSRF and authentication flaws before code merges.

Proven on Anthropic’s Codebase

Anthropic tested these tools internally, catching a remote code execution flaw via DNS rebinding and an SSRF vulnerability in credential proxy code before production. Real-world validation shows AI-based security can outpace manual reviews, preventing risky bugs from ever reaching customers.

Security for Small Teams, Free

By offering enterprise-grade scanning at no cost, Anthropic empowers small development teams to adopt robust security without dedicated specialists. Integration takes seconds, requiring just a few keystrokes and existing Claude API workflows for immediate protection.
