Partnering with Mozilla to improve Firefox's security

https://www.anthropic.com/news/mozilla-firefox-security
  • Claude Opus 4.6 found 22 Firefox vulns in two weeks; 14 high-severity.
    • ~One-fifth of all high-severity Firefox vulns remediated in 2025.
    • Fixes shipped to hundreds of millions in Firefox 148.0.
  • Claude has found 500+ zero-day vulns in open-source software total.
  • Initial run: Claude identified a Use-After-Free bug within 20 minutes.
    • Final scan: 112 unique reports across ~6,000 C++ files.
  • Exploitation hard: only 2 working exploits from $4K in API spend, hundreds of attempts.
    • Both required stripping browser sandboxing to function.
  • Warning: discovery-over-exploitation edge won’t persist as models advance.
