The move comes despite the Department of Defense maintaining a ban on contracting with Anthropic, and raises questions about what safety modifications and controls would be needed before deploying such a powerful AI tool in government.","solution":"According to Neil Shah, VP for research at Counterpoint Research, federal deployment modifications should include: keeping scanned code within isolated and air-gapped environments (systems physically disconnected from networks), ensuring data is not used to retrain the base model, implementing transparency requirements, and requiring human-in-the-loop review (where humans approve actions before they happen) before any bug fix is applied. The memo references that the OMB is 'setting up protections' and working with model providers and the intelligence community to ensure 'appropriate guardrails and safeguards are in place,' though specific technical details of these protections are not provided in the source text.","labels":["policy","security"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.csoonline.com/article/4160303/white-house-moves-to-give-federal-agencies-access-to-anthropics-claude-mythos.html","publishedAt":"2026-04-17T12:32:33.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["Anthropic"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["Anthropic","Claude Mythos"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-04-17T12:32:33.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["integrity","availability"],"aiComponentTargeted":"model","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.92,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
