Codex Security plugin changelog

Notable user-facing changes to the Codex Security plugin.

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.md as the entry point to these derived outputs under findings/ and hardening/. Keep the full scan directory together when sharing or archiving results.

Run reporting workflows directly

  • Use $codex-security:vulnerability-writeup to turn disclosure documents, rough findings, PoCs, and source code into polished reports without first running a Codex Security scan.
  • Use $codex-security:propose-security-hardening to 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.md files. 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.
