GitHub announces AI-based scanning for Code Security
Initial DisclosureGitHub says Code Security will add AI-based scanning to expand vulnerability detection beyond CodeQL and improve coverage for Shell/Bash, Dockerfiles, Terraform, PHP, and other ecosystems. The hybrid model is expected to enter public preview in early Q2 2026, and internal testing processed over 170,000 findings in 30 days with 80% positive developer feedback, while Copilot Autofix continues to help resolve issues detected through GitHub Code Security.
