OpenAI Launches Codex Security that Discover, Validate and Patch Vulnerabilities

OpenAI has launched Codex Security, an AI agent designed to discover, validate, and patch vulnerabilities in codebases, aiming to replace noisy traditional security tools. The agent builds threat models, validates findings through proof-of-concept exploits, and generates patches, demonstrating significant reductions in alert noise and false positives during its beta phase. OpenAI is also offering free access to Codex Security for qualifying open-source maintainers through the Codex for OSS program.
