I seem to have gotten a bunch of you are trying to stuff we don't allow errors.. very annoying.

Can they explain what types of projects it works on and how does it check I own it? Like will it just not work on Linux kernel even on my own patches to it?

I wonder if tools like this will put companies like snyk out of business. We use snyk at work and I have not been satisfied.

I like to think it just upped the bar, but good durable expertise will need to rise with it.

Why would a few code snippets put Snyk out of business?

would love it to see it h2h against https://github.com/usestrix/strix (45k stars)
petesergeant•25m ago
They are entirely different products
bearsyankees•22m ago
yeah you mean because OAI is only whitebox? or expand on that a bit, haven't played around a ton w the oss codex sec
petesergeant•29m ago
I don't think there's much to this other than it being a convenient CI wrapper around their existing models?

Edit: there's a little bit more meat here: https://github.com/openai/codex-security/tree/main/sdk/types...

bakigul•28m ago
Yeah, I think so too.
bamboozled•23m ago
Yeah but management loved the idea.

Alibaba just open sourced their version of a CLI code review tool too.

Hey HN, Michael here, co-founder of Promptfoo and one of the people working on the Codex Security CLI at OpenAI.

Thanks for checking this out and for flagging the auth issues. We just open-sourced it, and there's still plenty for us to improve. Expect the product to evolve quickly.

If you try it, I'd really appreciate hearing what works well and what you think we should improve. Happy to answer questions here.

Been watching your progress for a while, glad OpenAI have looked after you and the team and you still get to ship!

When would I use this over the plugin in codex? Which I think can be invoked from cli as well
alealvarezarg•18m ago
I was actually discussing solutions for this with my coworkers—building white-hat security agents. It seems like openai/codex-security could simplify a lot of that, or at least provide a version of Codex that's purpose-built for security workflows. Really exciting news!
bakigul•12m ago
Update: As far as I understand, this was already available as a Codex plugin. The main news is that OpenAI has now open-sourced it, and development is still moving quickly.
