In a shocking revelation that surprised absolutely no one, OpenAI’s Codex Security has announced its discovery of 10,561 high-severity opportunities for developers to engage in impromptu firefighting. Developers worldwide are now reportedly searching for the right words to express their gratitude, some opting for ‘Oh great, another bug hunt,’ while others prefer the more classic ‘I didn’t need sleep anyway.’
The Codex Security tool, which promises to not only identify but also validate and propose fixes for vulnerabilities, is now available in a limited research preview. For the next month, lucky users of ChatGPT Pro, Enterprise, Business, and Edu customers can enjoy the exhilaration of learning just how fragile their code is, for free! Expect enthusiastic celebrations from IT departments who find themselves blessed with the unexpected gift of existential dread.
A spokesperson from OpenAI optimistically stated, ‘It builds deep context about your project,’ which is corporate speak for ‘we know your code’s secrets and are happy to gossip about it.’ Such transparency is touted as a benefit, although some developers have likened it to having a nosy neighbor who knows when you forgot to take out the trash.
