Codex Security plugin changelog
This changelog highlights changes that affect how you run scans, review results, and move findings toward remediation.
0.1.11 (July 2026)
Produce detailed finding and hardening reports
- Generate one source-backed vulnerability report for every reportable scan finding, with supporting proof-of-concept files when available.
- Review a structural hardening portfolio that analyzes the complete finding set, engineering tradeoffs, migration options, and supporting diagrams.
- Use
report.mdas the entry point to these derived outputs underfindings/andhardening/. Keep the full scan directory together when sharing or archiving results.
Run reporting workflows directly
- Use
$codex-security:vulnerability-writeupto turn disclosure documents, rough findings, PoCs, and source code into polished reports without first running a Codex Security scan. - Use
$codex-security:propose-security-hardeningto develop evidence-backed structural or architectural options from scans, findings, incident or assessment documents, and source code.
Apply repository guidance and coverage consistently
- Define threat-model context, security invariants, reportable finding
criteria, exclusions, and severity context in root or nested
SECURITY.mdfiles. The closest applicable file takes precedence. - Review deleted source files in change scans and expand the default repository review coverage before validation.
- Check deep-scan phase skills, delegated workers, and worker capacity before a deep scan starts.
0.1.9 (June 2026)
Review scans in the findings workspace
- Review completed scans in a dedicated workspace that brings findings, coverage, severity, confidence, and scan artifacts together.
- Filter and sort findings, including sorting by highest confidence, while preserving your workspace state during refreshes.
- Open a finding to review source evidence, validation details, reachability, impact, and remediation guidance in one place.
Run scans with less setup
- Run standard scans against Git repositories, individual folders, or codebases without Git history. Deep scans can also target a specific folder.
- Cancel an active scan explicitly, resume an interrupted scan without another setup prompt, and receive a warning before starting concurrent deep scans.
- Follow clearer setup and progress states, with more compact progress summaries and errors that remain visible until you address them.
Export portable, verifiable results
- Use a consistent completed-scan format with a manifest, structured findings, coverage data, and a Markdown report derived from the same canonical result.
- Export findings as JSON, CSV, or SARIF for analysis, archiving, and integration with other security tools.
- Improved scan completion and filesystem handling, including fixes for Windows paths and scan locking.
Triage and track existing findings
- Triage existing findings from scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, GitHub, Jira, Linear, or Codex Security results against the current codebase. The triage workflow returns an evidence-backed verdict and a prioritized action queue.
- Track selected validated findings in Linear, Jira, or GitHub issues, or create a private draft GitHub Security Advisory when the repository meets the advisory requirements.
- Review duplicate checks, source context, destination visibility, and the exact proposed content before approving a write. Codex reads the result back after creation or update to verify it.
