Subject: OpenAI Codex For Open Source / Codex Security

OpenAI has recently launched Codex for Open Source, and I thought it might be of interest to JoomShaper:https://developers.openai.com/community/codex-for-oss The programme provides eligible open-source maintainers with six months of ChatGPT Pro with Codex, API credits and potential access to Codex Security.The security element seems particularly relevant to developers of widely used Joomla software.

Codex Security is designed to analyse source-code repositories for potential vulnerabilities, perform deeper security scans, review code changes for security regressions, help triage findings and assist developers with fixes.

I've spent quite a lot of time recently reviewing Joomla extension source code for security issues, and one of the difficulties with doing this externally is that you're examining released packages after development has already taken place.

A tool integrated with the development repository potentially moves much of that work earlier in the process, where security issues can be identified before a release.

OpenAI says the programme is aimed at core maintainers and widely used public projects. It also encourages maintainers who are unsure whether their project qualifies to apply and explain the project's importance to its ecosystem.

Given JoomShaper's involvement in widely used Joomla software, I thought this was worth bringing to your attention.

Hi Addington,

Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention and for taking the time to explain how Codex Security could benefit open-source Joomla projects.

You make a very good point about moving security reviews earlier into the development process rather than discovering issues after a release. We’ll definitely take a closer look at the OpenAI program and see whether JoomShaper is eligible to participate.

We really appreciate you thinking of JoomShaper and sharing this opportunity with us. Thanks again for your continued interest in the Joomla ecosystem and for your efforts around extension security.

Best regards,
