What Codex Security CLI does
Codex Security CLI is OpenAI's open-source command-line tool and TypeScript SDK for scanning repositories, tracking vulnerability findings across runs, verifying fixes, and gating CI/CD on severity. The CLI and SDK are released under Apache 2.0 and free to install, but running an actual scan requires an active ChatGPT Enterprise, Edu, Business, or Pro plan since the analysis runs through OpenAI's hosted Codex Security service.
- Repository-wide security scans with repo-specific threat modeling
- Diff-scoped scans for reviewing pull requests before merge
- Finding validation in an isolated environment to reduce false positives
- SARIF export for GitHub/GitLab code-scanning integration
- Severity-based CI gating (fail builds only on high/critical findings)
- Cross-run finding tracking and fix verification
- TypeScript SDK for custom integrations beyond the CLI
