Mythos, an AI-powered code analyzer from Anthropic, identified one confirmed security vulnerability in curl's extensive 176,000-line C codebase, which will be addressed in the upcoming release. While initial expectations were high due to the tool’s purported capabilities, the findings were modest compared to other existing AI tools used by curl. The analysis highlighted that while Mythos is effective, it did not uncover significantly more or advanced issues than previous tools, suggesting its impact may be overhyped for now. However, AI analyzers remain valuable in identifying security flaws and bugs, especially for projects yet to adopt such technology.(curl's codebase has been rigorously audited and contains numerous defensive measures that minimize vulnerabilities.)
