GitHub's Copilot Autofix Supercharges Security Fixes

GitHub rolled out its Copilot Autofix update on October 15, 2024, revolutionizing how developers tackle security vulnerabilities. By integrating with tools like JFrog SAST and ESLint, Copilot Autofix slashed remediation times—cross-site scripting fixes down to 22 minutes from 3 hours! During its beta, fixes sped up over threefold, proving AI’s knack for boosting productivity. Now available to all GitHub users and free for open-source projects, it’s a win for safer code—though some developers still eye AI fixes with a healthy dose of skepticism.
