Correctif automatique Copilot is an expansion of code scanning that provides you with targeted recommendations to help you fix code scanning alerts so you can avoid introducing new security vulnerabilities. The potential fixes are generated automatically by large language models (LLMs) using data from the codebase and from code scanning analysis.
How Correctif automatique Copilot works
Correctif automatique Copilot translates the description and location of an alert into code changes that may fix the alert. It interfaces with the large language model GPT-5.1 from OpenAI, which has sufficient generative capabilities to produce both suggested fixes in code and explanatory text for those fixes.
Enabling and managing Correctif automatique Copilot
You do not need a subscription to GitHub Copilot to use Correction automatique GitHub Copilot. Correctif automatique Copilot is available to all public repositories on GitHub.com, as well as internal or private repositories owned by organizations and enterprises that have a license for GitHub Code Security.
Correctif automatique Copilot is allowed by default and enabled for every repository that uses CodeQL, regardless of whether it uses default or advanced setup for code scanning. There is no separate step to enable Correctif automatique Copilot: enabling code scanning with CodeQL is sufficient. See Définition de la configuration par défaut pour l’analyse du code.
Administrators at the enterprise, organization, and repository levels can choose to disable Correctif automatique Copilot. If Correctif automatique Copilot has been disabled at your level, you can re-enable it by following the same steps used to disable it and selecting the option to allow Correctif automatique Copilot. To learn how to manage Correctif automatique Copilot at each level, see Désactivation de Copilot Autofix pour l’analyse du code des alertes de sécurité.
