This is amazing. Use a SAST to detect security issues, and then triage those alerts with LLMs, to remove false positives and focus on real and exploitable issues.
And of course, the framework is open source.
Learn how we triage security alerts in GitHub Actions and JavaScript projects with the new GitHub Security Lab Taskflow Agent, and leverage LLM to focus on the exploitable vulnerabilities. github.blog/security/ai-...

I don't know who needs to hear this:
if you're thinking about automating a trivial task for the third time: just do it now!
It doesn't need to be something complicated, often a shell script is enough. $1 refers to the first argument passed to the shell script. (noted so I don't forget 😉)

Einstein said: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
It looks like Einstein never used LLMs.

In this demonstration I show the impact of CVE-2025-25291/CVE-2025-25292, an authentication bypass in ruby-saml used by high profile OSS projects such as GitLab. My team coordinated with both the ruby-saml maintainer and GitLab to get this vulnerability fixed and patches are available at gh.io/glfx

If you're using ruby-saml or omniauth-saml for SAML authentication make sure to update these libraries as fast as possible! Fixes for two critical authentication bypass vulnerabilities were published today (CVE-2025-25291 + CVE-2025-25292).
