OpenAI has released the Codex Security tool for finding vulnerabilities in code

Codex Security is a new open-source tool introduced by OpenAI. The solution includes a CLI and an SDK designed for automated vulnerability scanning and verification in software.

The tool requires Node.js version 22 or higher to run. The software supports cross-platform operation, including macOS, Linux, and Windows operating systems. The project's source code is published on GitHub under an open license.

The toolkit is focused on integration into development processes to improve code security during the writing phase. Developers can use the SDK to embed security analysis features directly into their workflows, allowing them to identify potential threats before the application deployment stage.
