Overview
You can now run a security review on your in-flight code changes directly from the GitHub Copilot app. The /security-review slash command is shipping in public preview, bringing the same AI-driven vulnerability scanning already available in Copilot CLI into your everyday coding workflow.
What it does
/security-review analyses your current workstream changes and returns:
- High-confidence security findings, scored by severity and confidence.
- Actionable suggestions you can apply and reverify without leaving Copilot.
- A focused, prioritised view so you can fix the issues that matter before code lands.
The scan is tuned to catch common, high-impact vulnerability classes such as injection flaws, cross-site scripting, insecure data handling, path traversal and weak cryptography.
Why it matters
The /security-review command gives you a way to catch issues while you’re still working without leaving your coding environment. It complements GitHub code scanning, Dependabot, and secret scanning by giving you a lightweight, on-demand check on your local changes.
How to try it
Open a project in the Copilot app, make your code changes, and run /security-review to scan those changes. The command is available to Copilot Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users during public preview.
