Open-source security firm Chainguard has brought together dozens of partners in a new industry coalition to protect open-source software from AI attacks.<\/p>\n

The initiative, called Athena, was announced by Chainguard on June 16. Its founding members include BNY, Chainguard, Cisco, Cloudflare, Corridor, DepthFirst, Docker, JPMorganChase, Kyndryl, LTIMindtree and PwC.<\/p>\n

Based on preliminary work at Chainguard, Athena provides a vulnerability intelligence sharing platform and tools to fix the vulnerabilities frontier AI models, like Anthropic\u2019s Mythos and OpenAI\u2019s GPT-5.5.-Cyber, find before attackers can exploit them.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how Athena works, according to Chainguard\u2019s CEO Dan Lorenc:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Coalition members pool vulnerabilities affecting open-source projects they have discovered and packages into the Athena platform using frontier AI programs they have access to, including Anthropic’s Project Glasswing and OpenAI’s Daybreak<\/li>\n
  2. Chainguard patches them privately and affected projects are rebuilt as private, hardened versions, available to members through Chainguard Libraries before disclosure<\/li>\n
  3. Coalition members that operate infrastructure, platform, network and security layers push non-patch mitigations ahead of disclosure so that coverage exists even where a clean patch does not yet<\/li>\n
  4. Cybersecurity partners add their own detections, signatures and virtual patching<\/li>\n
  5. The Athena coalition drives coordinated upstream disclosure<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Additionally, Chainguard hopes to work with the Linux Foundation on a coordinated Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) for open source and a maintainer of last resort program.<\/p>\n

    Announcing the project on LinkedIn, Lorenc said Athena allows for every vulnerability one member discovers to get remediated and pushed upstream, \u201cbecoming a fix the entire ecosystem inherits, often before disclosure.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u201cAnd for the parts of the world that can’t patch on an attacker’s timeline, partners who sit in front of much of the internet push mitigations…<\/p>\n
