What it does

GitHub Copilot Autofix is a GitHub Code Security feature that generates a suggested code change and explanation for supported code-scanning alerts. GitHub docs distinguish it from agentic autofix: Copilot Autofix produces a single suggestion that a human reviews and can turn into a pull request, while agentic autofix assigns alerts to Copilot to investigate, validate and open a draft PR. Copilot Autofix is enabled by default when CodeQL code scanning is enabled, is available on all public repositories on GitHub.com, and on private/internal repositories with a GitHub Code Security licence. GitHub docs state it interfaces with OpenAI GPT-5.3-Codex (vendor-claimed model). It does not consume Code Security AI credits; agentic autofix does. GitHub states generated fixes are best-effort and must be reviewed.

Pricing (as published)

Included with GitHub Code Security. Public repositories: available at no extra Code Security licence. Private/internal repositories: GitHub Code Security is published at $30 USD per active committer/month on github.com/security/plans. Not a Copilot seat add-on; GitHub docs say no Copilot subscription is required.

India relevance

Supports finding and suggesting fixes for code-scanning alerts in a secure SDLC, which is relevant to CERT-In-oriented vulnerability handling. GitHub does not market a CERT-In product module.
