AI - OpenAI Codex Security CLI
News in AI travels fast 🤣 way faster than anyone can keep up, but this one I think was interesting and somewhat funny that I decided to put it here as well so more people can be made aware of it.
OpenAI Codex Security CLI
From their own repo:
Codex Security CLI is a CLI and TypeScript SDK for finding, validating, and fixing security vulnerabilities in your code. Requires Node.js 22.13.0 or later in the 22.x release line, Node.js 24.x, or Node.js 26.x; Python 3.10 or later; and access to Codex Security.
It is great to see that OpenAI is taking security seriously and providing tools to help developers identify and fix security vulnerabilities in their code. Making it open-source is a great move to encourage adoption and community feedback.

The post above is OpenAI’s original announcement of the new Codex Security CLI. Why did I say it was funny? Because it was leaked before it was officially announced. It just goes to show how fast things move in the AI world. Nothing stays hidden for long 🤣
If I get to write my post tomorrow, it will be even more interesting given what Google and Microsoft “announced” over the last few days. So stay tuned! 🤣
What is it, actually?
Codex Security CLI is a new open-source command-line tool designed to help security and development teams identify, validate, and remediate vulnerabilities across their codebases.
Released under the Apache 2.0 license, the tool automates several key security workflows, including:
- Scanning source code repositories for vulnerabilities
- Comparing security findings across multiple scans
- Verifying that reported issues have been successfully fixed
- Integrating security checks into CI/CD pipelines
- Performing bulk security assessments across multiple repositories
