GitHub Code Scanning Autofix Available in Beta
March 21, 2024

GitHub announced that code scanning autofix, powered by GitHub Copilot and CodeQL, is available in public beta for all GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) customers.

Code scanning autofix helps organizations slow the growth of this “application security debt” by making it easier for developers to fix vulnerabilities as they code.

Code scanning autofix will help development teams reclaim time formerly spent on remediation. Security teams will also benefit from a reduced volume of everyday vulnerabilities, so they can focus on strategies to protect the business while keeping up with an accelerated pace of development.

Code scanning autofix advantages:

- Significantly reduces the time and effort spent on remediation by empowering developers with intuitive security expertise built directly into their coding experience – remediates more than two-thirds of found vulnerabilities with little or no editing.

- Covers more than 90% of alert types in JavaScript, Typescript, Java, and Python.

- Leverages the CodeQL engine and a combination of heuristics and GitHub Copilot APIs to generate code suggestions.
