GitHub Dependabot now allows security alerts to be assigned to AI coding agents—including Copilot, Claude, and Codex—for automated vulnerability remediation. Each agent independently analyzes the alert and repository dependencies, then opens a draft pull request with proposed code fixes and attempts to resolve test failures. Users can assign multiple agents simultaneously to compare remediation approaches.
