GitHub Copilot Autofix is the AI-driven remediation feature in GitHub's application security offering. It reviews vulnerabilities found in code and proposes automated fixes directly in GitHub, so developers can write secure code at scale instead of leaving security tickets in a backlog. It belongs to GitHub Code Security, which is priced at $30 per active committer per month, while the companion GitHub Secret Protection product costs $19 per active committer per month.
GitHub Copilot Autofix targets development teams and organizations that already host their code on GitHub and want security built into the way they work. Application security teams gain time to focus on broader strategy when developers can resolve issues as they go, and engineering leaders at larger companies get a path to adopt security tooling without adding a separate workflow. Teams on Azure DevOps can also reach GitHub Advanced Security as an add-on.
In practice, a developer opens a pull request, the code is analyzed through static application security testing, and a suggested fix appears alongside the finding. Security engineers use the same environment for software composition analysis and secret scanning, which covers dependencies and leaked credentials in addition to flaws in the code itself. Organizations that want to evaluate the product can start with a 30-day GitHub trial that includes Enterprise and Advanced Security. Because everything runs inside the native workflows developers already know, adoption tends to depend on committer licensing rather than on training or new infrastructure.
