The DOD has blacklisted Anthropic from working with defense contractors, though the agency is reportedly using Mythos internally and is open to negotiations about safeguards (called guardrails, or restrictions on how the AI can be used) if Anthropic agrees to terms similar to those negotiated with other AI companies.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["policy","security"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/01/pentagon-anthropic-blacklist-mythos-michael.html","publishedAt":"2026-05-01T12:51:08.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["Anthropic","OpenAI","Google","Microsoft","Amazon"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["Anthropic","Claude","Mythos","OpenAI","Google","Nvidia","Microsoft","Amazon Web Services","SpaceX","xAI","Reflection"],"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":"2026-05-01T12:51:08.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["integrity","availability"],"aiComponentTargeted":"model","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
