OpenAI Introduces Codex Security for Enhanced Code Vulnerability Detection

📌 OpenAI launched Codex Security, an AI-powered security agent designed to detect, validate, and suggest fixes for vulnerabilities in code. The tool was rolled out on Friday in a research preview for ChatGPT Pro, Enterprise, Business, and Edu customers via the Codex web platform, with free usage offered for the next month. During testing, Codex Security scanned 1.2 million code commits and identified 10,561 high-severity security issues. The system leverages deep project context to improve vulnerability detection but no specific CVEs or technical exploitation details were disclosed. The feature is currently limited to select customer tiers and remains in a preview phase.
