News summary
GitHub has expanded its Advanced Security (GHAS) platform with a new set of AI powered detection rules that go beyond traditional static analysis to identify complex vulnerability patterns that require semantic understanding of code. New Detection Capabilities The expanded ruleset covers: Prompt injection patterns — CodeQL rules that identify unsanitized user input flowing into LLM prompt construction, flagging potential prompt injection and indirect prompt injection vulnerabilities in AI application code Insecure deserialization in AI pipelines — Detection of unsafe pickle/joblib deserialization patterns common in ML model loading workflows Credential exposure in AI configs — Rules targeting hardcoded API keys and model provider credentials in configuration files, Jupyter notebooks, and environment setup scripts Copilot Autofix Integration AI powered detections are integrated with Copi…
