OpenAI has released the Codex Security CLI as an open-source project, according to its own announcement on Bluesky – though with minimal fanfare. The community found the tool on Hacker News before OpenAI had a chance to formally share it.
Features and Use Cases
The tool allows developers to scan repositories, track security findings across multiple runs, verify fixes, and integrate security checks directly into CI/CD pipelines. It targets teams looking to automate vulnerability scanning within their development workflows.
