GitHub has introduced a new code scanning feature for AI applications, now in public preview, which detects vulnerabilities such as indirect prompt injection, sensitive information disclosure, and excessive agency. This feature is available for organizations using GitHub Advanced Security and scans pull requests automatically. Indirect prompt injection is highlighted as a risk, as it can manipulate AI agent behavior through untrusted content. The scanning tool flags code paths where untrusted content may reach AI models with access to sensitive systems. Organizations are encouraged to review alerts and apply mitigation guidance before merging code. The feature is currently not available for GitHub Enterprise Server. No specific CVEs or have been reported related to this feature.
