OpenAI’s new AppSec agent, Codex Security, has already flagged over 11,000 high-severity and critical flaws in real-world codebases during its first 30 days of research testing.

According to an OpenAI blog post, the tool is meant to function more like a security researcher who studies a codebase, maps potential attack paths, and proposes fixes, rather than a static scanner. “It’s designed to operate at scale and surface the highest-confidence findings with easy-to-accept patches,” the company wrote.
