Security extension
The Security extension for GitHub Copilot App provides a canvas for reviewing GitHub Advanced Security code scanning alerts and local security findings. Use the canvas to inspect findings and ask Copilot to explain, fix, or recheck selected local findings.
Requirements
- GitHub Copilot App. Standalone Copilot CLI is not supported.
- Access to code scanning alerts in the selected repository when loading GitHub Advanced Security findings.
Getting started
Install the github-security plugin from your configured marketplace, then
open the Security canvas in a repository session. GitHub access uses the
repository's GitHub account in Copilot App.
Security findings and generated fixes require review; they do not guarantee that a repository is free of vulnerabilities.
Third-party notices
The bundled dependencies' versions, licenses, and notices are included with the extension and canvas.
