Codex Security Review (Research Preview)
Codex reviews GitHub pull requests specifically for security problems and posts findings into the pull request.
Details
- It reads the pull request diff alongside repository context and a threat model, then reports findings with severity, the attack path, supporting evidence, and a suggested fix
- You configure in Codex settings which pull requests get reviewed, whether reviews run on open or after each push, and where the threat model comes from
- High and critical findings post automatically to the pull request, medium and above post on manual runs, and the full report stays in the Codex task under a Security Report tab
- Available on ChatGPT Enterprise, Business, Edu, and Pro, not on Plus
- Usage limits may apply but it does not consume credits during the research preview
- Findings on public repositories are visible to anyone viewing the pull request
Best for
Catching security issues in a pull request before it merges, without waiting on a dedicated security reviewer.
When to use it
Your team ships code faster than security can review it and you want a first pass on every pull request.
Who benefits
