It complements GitHub code scanning, Dependabot, and secret scanning by giving you a lightweight, on-demand check on your local changes.\n\n[How to try it](#how-to-try-it)\n\nOpen a project in the Copilot app, make your code changes, and run `/security-review`\n\nto scan those changes. The command is available to Copilot Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users during public preview.\n\nJoin the discussion and share your feedback in the [GitHub Community](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/categories/announcements).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/security-reviews-now-available-in-the-github-copilot-app", "canonical_source": "https://github.blog/changelog/2026-07-14-security-reviews-now-available-in-the-github-copilot-app", "published_at": "2026-07-14 12:54:12+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-14 13:33:22.618635+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["GitHub", "GitHub Copilot", "Dependabot"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/security-reviews-now-available-in-the-github-copilot-app", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/security-reviews-now-available-in-the-github-copilot-app.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/security-reviews-now-available-in-the-github-copilot-app.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/security-reviews-now-available-in-the-github-copilot-app.jsonld"}}
