Anthropic

Project Glasswing: 10,000+ vulnerabilities found

First quantified results, one month in. ~50 partner orgs running Claude Mythos Preview in defensive workflows. Cloudflare: 2,000 bugs, 400 high/critical. Mozilla: 271 fixed in Firefox 150. Bottleneck has shifted from discovery to verification and patching. Anthropic blog

Claude Security in public beta

Runs on Claude Opus 4.7 across codebases. Triages vulns, generates fixes. Cyber Verification Program opens to eligible security teams. Claude blog

Claude Mythos: still withheld

Anthropic confirmed May 22 that Mythos stays restricted to defensive consortium members. General release conditioned on safeguards work that isn't done. Project Glasswing

MCP Ecosystem

2026-07-28 release candidate

Biggest spec revision since launch. The Mcp-Session-Id header is gone, so any request can land on any server instance. Mcp-Method and Mcp-Name headers let load balancers route without inspecting bodies. ttlMs and cacheScope tell clients how long tools/list is fresh. Auth aligns with OAuth and OpenID Connect. Final spec ships July 28. MCP blog

GitHub MCP server update

Official server pushed an update May 22. Releases

Nothing today.

What This Means For Builders

  • If you ship MCP servers, start porting now. Stateless deploys behind a plain round-robin LB are about to be the default. Sticky-session designs are dead weight.
  • Use /usage per-category to find which MCP server or plugin is burning your tokens. Cut what isn't earning.
  • If you're in security, apply to Claude Security or the Cyber Verification Program. The frontier capability is now gated behind verified-defender access.
  • Don't expect Mythos in your hands soon. Plan production against Opus 4.7.
