GitHub AI Security: New Detections on Pull Requests

GitHub code scanning now shows AI-powered security detections directly on pull requests. This expands vulnerability coverage to languages and frameworks not currently supported by CodeQL. What's interesting is these detections help teams find and fix potential issues in parts of the codebase that previously had no native scanning coverage. This happens before code is merged. These AI-powered detections extend code scanning to a broader range of languages. Findings appear directly in pull requests and are labeled "AI" to distinguish them from CodeQL results. The AI security detections run automatically when a pull request is opened or updated, with results appearing as they are returned. These findings are informational and will not block pull request merges. This feature is in public preview for GitHub Code Security customers. It requires a GitHub Copilot license and uses your organization’s AI credits. The bottom line is this new integration helps developers identify and address more security issues earlier in the development process.
