  • 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
