About OpenAI Codex Security
OpenAI Codex Security is an AI-powered vulnerability scanner (currently in research preview) that connects to GitHub repositories and performs three-stage security analysis: threat modeling, vulnerability discovery with sandboxed validation, and patch generation. Unlike traditional static scanners, it reads code like a security researcher, explores realistic attack paths, and produces minimal, human-reviewable patches rather than auto-applying fixes. In internal testing it scanned 1.2 million commits, found 10,561 high-severity issues, and reduced false positive rates by over 50% on repeat scans.
