Anthropic introduced Claude Code Security, a new feature inside Claude Code that uses AI to scan software code for security issues and suggest fixes. The system goes beyond traditional scanners by understanding how code works, not just patterns, and rechecks results to lower false positives.
Detected issues appear on a dashboard with severity and confidence ratings.
Developers keep control and review any suggested patches before applying them. The feature aims to help security teams handle large backlogs of vulnerabilities by combining automated insights with human oversight. It’s currently available in a limited research preview.
