Assessing Claude Mythos Preview’s cybersecurity capabilities

submitted by codeinabox to security 3 points | 2 comments https://red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-preview/ > During our testing, we found that Mythos Preview is capable of identifying and then exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in every major operating system and every major web browser when directed by a user to do so. The vulnerabilities it finds are often subtle or difficult to detect. Many of them are ten or twenty years old, with the oldest we have found so far being a now-patched 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD—an operating system known primarily for its security.
