GitHub has added a /security-review slash command to the GitHub Copilot app, extending the security-focused review flow beyond the earlier Copilot CLI preview. Use it as a pre-PR or pre-merge check when a branch includes authentication, file upload, payment, dependency, or permission changes.
What to try:
- Open a project in the Copilot app.
- Make or load the code changes you want reviewed.
- Run
/security-reviewand inspect the findings before you create or merge a pull request. - Keep normal SAST, dependency scanning, secret scanning, and human review in place.
Limits to remember:
- GitHub labels the app command as public preview.
- Copilot code review availability depends on plan and organization policy.
- AI review can miss issues, especially in framework-specific flows or code paths that need runtime context.
- Treat findings as triage input, not as a release gate by itself.
