Hey HN, Michael here, co-founder of Promptfoo and one of the people working on the Codex Security CLI at OpenAI. Thanks for checking this out and for flagging the auth issues. We just open-sourced it, and there's still plenty for us to improve. Expect the product to evolve quickly. If you try it, I'd really appreciate hearing what works well and what you think we should improve. Happy to answer questions here. CLI do…

Does it require hitting OpenAI's APIs or can one also stand up a local OpenAI compatible LLM endpoint?

We are actively working on officially supporting this. Because it's open source it is pretty easy to point a coding agent at it now and switch out the model.

Offtopic, but this right here is why I don't believe any marketing around "great amazing models that one-shot everything and programmers are no longer needed".

You just have to look at what these labs routinely produce, and their own products.

Edit to respond to @simonw whose comment I saw before he retracted it ;)

This comment is tied directly to consistent continuous claims by the LLM labs. Their own products disprove their own claims, and it would indeed be nice if fewer people believed them :)

Exciting! Is there any open GitHub issue we can track?

How does it work? Does the tool upload code to ChatGPT for analysis? That may not be allowed for some corporate projects.

Amazon bedrock is an option for gpt models that does not send your data to openai.

Does Amazon offer better privacy guarantees than OpenAI?

This looks great, thanks for open-sourcing it!

How does it deal with the current guardrails 5.6 Sol has on finding vulnerabilities? When I use it in the Codex app it would sometimes say it found a vulnerability, but it cannot tell me what it is.

The scanner is the least interesting part of this. The harness around it is the product: dedup across runs, false-positive tracking, budget controls, CI gating. That is the layer where we'll see most interesting innovations in my opinion.

I'm building AQ, a coding harness for teams and the pattern is identical. For a while, I thought the raw model is the answer and quickly changed my mind. Purpose built harnesses are way more powerful than it sounds.
