GitHub Copilot Now Prevents Vulnerabilities Before Code Commits

GitHub just shipped the most useful security feature in the Copilot app since Code Scanning — and it is a slash command. No experimental-mode opt-in. No terminal incantation. No Copilot Business upgrade gate. Type the command in the Copilot desktop app, and an LLM scans your uncommitted diff for injection, XSS, weak cryptography, path traversal, and insecure data handling before a single character of vulnerable code reaches your repo. This is the first time GitHub Copilot's pre-commit vulnerability scanning is available to every subscriber — Free tier included — and the timing is not coincidental.

GitHub Copilot is, by GitHub's own positioning, the largest single source of AI-generated code in the world.
