# Codex Security

`@openai/codex-security` is a CLI and TypeScript SDK for finding, validating, and
fixing security vulnerabilities in your code.

## Features

- Scan repositories, selected paths, or Git changes. Deep scans run parallel
  discovery workers on repositories and selected paths.
- Validate candidate findings, generate patches, and verify existing fixes.
- Draft `SECURITY.md` policies and save threat models for later review.
- Browse saved scans and findings, identify duplicates, assess severity against
  your own rubric, and suggest owners from source and Git history.
- Import GitHub code scanning alerts, export SARIF, JSON, or CSV, and publish
  findings to Linear or a findings service.
- Automate scans across repositories or project components, including in CI and
  containers.

## Quick start

Requires Node.js 22.13.0+ within 22.x, or Node.js 24.x or 26.x, and Python 3.10+.
Python 3.10 also requires `tomli`.

Install the CLI globally and sign in:

```bash
npm install --global @openai/codex-security
cs login
```

`cs` is a short alias for `codex-security`; both commands run the same CLI.
The installation creates both commands in npm's global executable directory,
which must be on your `PATH`. If `cs` already resolves to another tool, use
`codex-security` instead. If npm stops with an `EEXIST` error for `cs`, use
`npx @openai/codex-security` without a global installation.

From your repository, optionally [draft a `SECURITY.md`](#generate-securitymd)
that explains what counts as a security issue in your project:

```bash
cs policy .
```

The draft is saved outside your repository. Review the diff and notes, edit the
draft, then copy only `SECURITY.md` to the **Policy target** shown. Skip this step
to keep your current policy or scan without one.

Run your scan from the repository directory:

```bash
cs scan .
```

If you have Daybreak Blue access, add `--cyber-access-program daybreak_blue`
to the scan command. Otherwise, omit the flag or use
`--cyber-access-program standard`.

To run without a global installation, replace `cs` in these examples with
`npx @openai/codex-security`, for example:

```bash
npx @openai/codex-security scan .
```

For CI, set `OPENAI_API_KEY` or `CODEX_API_KEY` in the scan process's environment.
On remote or headless machines, use `login --device-auth` if your workspace
allows it, or [sign in over SSH](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/sdk/typescript/README.md#remote-login-with-ssh-forwarding).

Some cybersecurity requests and protected findings require
[Trusted Access for Cyber](https://chatgpt.com/cyber) approval.

### Scan options

Choose a scope and scan mode:

```bash
# Scan selected paths.
cs scan . --path src --path tests

# Scan committed changes from a base revision to HEAD.
cs scan . --diff origin/main

# Run a deep scan of the repository.
cs scan . --mode deep
```

Use `cs --help` to browse commands, or `cs scan --help`
for scan options, cost limits, and patching after a scan.

For an application spread across repositories, see
[review one system across repositories](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/sdk/typescript/docs/cli.md#review-one-system-across-repositories).
Use [bulk scans](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/sdk/typescript/docs/cli.md#bulk-scans) for independent repository
reviews in one resumable campaign.

## TypeScript SDK

Install the package locally in your TypeScript project:

```bash
npm install @openai/codex-security
```

Then import it:

```ts
import { CodexSecurity } from "@openai/codex-security";

const security = new CodexSecurity();

try {
  const result = await security.run("/path/to/repository");
  console.log(result.reportPath);
} finally {
  await security.close();
}
```

The [SDK guide](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/sdk/typescript/README.md) includes deep-scan configuration,
validation, severity classification, owner suggestions, and result handling.

## Read existing Cloud findings

When Codex Security Cloud is available to your account, the Security plugin's
`$cloud-findings` skill can read findings, reports, recorded assignment and
verification, and scan status in Codex desktop or the Codex CLI. Cloud is an
optional connection; local scans work without it.

See [Cloud connection setup and CLI reads](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/sdk/typescript/README.md#read-existing-cloud-findings)
for authentication requirements and a read-only example.

## Generate SECURITY.md

Use `policy` to draft a new `SECURITY.md` or update an existing one. Use `--path`
to select a component:

```bash
cs policy .
cs policy . --path services/api --knowledge-base architecture.md
```

The command saves its draft outside the repository and leaves existing files
unchanged. Review the diff and notes, edit the draft, then copy only `SECURITY.md`
to the displayed **Policy target**. Keep the saved architecture and threat-model
documents outside the repository.

Scans already use root and component `SECURITY.md` files. Keep your current policy
if it needs no changes. When updating it, preserve its vulnerability-reporting
instructions. If the command says the policy is already up to date, no copy is
needed.

Files at `.github/SECURITY.md` or `docs/SECURITY.md` often contain reporting
instructions. Preserve them when drafting a policy; those locations do not
automatically provide repository-wide scan guidance. See the
[policy guide](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/sdk/typescript/docs/cli.md#generate-a-security-policy) for policy
locations, unanswered questions, saved artifacts, and SDK usage.

## Save and export threat models

Scans and policy generation save threat models with their results. Export a saved
model without starting another analysis:

```bash
cs export --scan SCAN_ID --artifact threat-model --output threatmodel.md
```

Omit `--scan` to use the current repository's latest completed scan. The
[export guide](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/sdk/typescript/docs/cli.md#exports-and-ci) also covers findings,
SARIF output for CI, and the offline TypeScript API.

## GitHub Actions

Run scheduled, manual, or pull request scans with the GitHub Action. For a weekly
repository scan, add an OpenAI API key as the repository secret
`CODEX_SECURITY_API_KEY`, then save this workflow in
`.github/workflows/codex-security.yml`. Replace `REPLACE_WITH_REVIEWED_COMMIT`
with the full SHA of an Action commit.

This workflow requests Daybreak Blue. Use an API key from a project with Blue
enabled; without Daybreak access, omit `cyber-access-program` or set it to
`standard`.

```yaml
name: Codex Security

  workflow_dispatch:
  schedule:
    - cron: "23 7 * * 1" # Mondays at 07:23 UTC

          cyber-access-program: daybreak_blue
        env:
          OPENAI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.CODEX_SECURITY_API_KEY }}
```

Findings are report-only by default. Set a severity threshold to fail on reported
findings at or above it. Scanner and required reporting errors fail the job;
intentional file exclusions and investigation notes do not.
See the [Action setup and input reference](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/github-action/README.md) for PR scans,
severity thresholds, and report uploads.

## Containerized bulk scans

Scan a list of repositories with the included Docker Compose configuration,
which keeps results and authentication between runs. See the
[container quick start](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/sdk/typescript/docs/cli.md#containerized-bulk-scans).
The [workflow runner](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/docker/README.md#workflow-runner) runs individual CLI stages
in containers and can connect to a separately deployed findings service.

## Findings storage and deduplication

The [findings guide](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/sdk/typescript/docs/findings-service.md) covers local
storage, deduplication, and compatibility with independently operated endpoints
through `publish scan --to custom` and explicit `--findings-url`. The local
`serve` command and browser dashboard have been removed; existing databases and
scan artifacts remain available.

## Other providers

Scans support OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, OpenRouter, and Fireworks AI. Bedrock uses
AWS credentials and does not require a separate OpenAI login. See
[Bedrock setup](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/docs/bedrock.md) for AWS profiles, regions, and model access.

For OpenRouter and Fireworks AI, set the provider's API key and choose a supported
model. See [provider configuration](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/blob/HEAD/sdk/typescript/docs/cli.md#native-command-authentication-and-other-providers)
for examples.
