Claude Mythos Identifies 271 Vulnerabilities in Mozilla’s Firefox

Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview has identified 271 security vulnerabilities in Mozilla's Firefox browser, prompting the release of Firefox 150 with patches for these issues. This extensive scan is part of Anthropic's Project Glasswing, which provides limited access to Mythos for critical infrastructure partners. Firefox CTO Bobby Holley noted that this AI-driven audit represents a significant escalation in scale compared to previous collaborations, which fixed 22 issues in Firefox 148. The findings highlight how AI-powered security evaluations are transforming cybersecurity practices, moving beyond traditional models that focused on making attacks costly rather than eliminating exploits entirely. The implications are significant for the crypto industry, as exchanges and decentralized applications rely on the same infrastructure that Mythos can reportedly exploit, raising concerns about AI-assisted attacks on digital assets.
