Executive summary
OpenAI has rebranded its GPT-5-powered vulnerability scanner Aardvark as Codex Security and introduced a dedicated malware analysis pipeline. The new Malware tab accepts .zip bundles up to 200MB, stages samples in an internal system called Sediment, and produces structured analysis artifacts including verdicts, SHA256 hashes, extracted files, runtime metrics, and downloadable artifact bundles.

Key features
• Purpose-built malware workflow with a two-step process: staging in Sediment followed by job-driven analysis and a SOC-style dashboard.
• Existing code-security features retained: repository scanning with a reported 92% detection rate, commit-level threat modeling, sandbox validation, and Codex-powered patch generation.
• Job visibility: filtering by filename/hash, status categories (Active, Succeeded, Failed), average runtime tracking, and per-job artifact bundles.

Technical implementation (as reported)
• Staging layer named Sediment appears to be a centralized orchestration and analysis environment; OpenAI has not published architecture or operational details.
• The product previously used GPT-5 capabilities for static reasoning and sandbox-driven validation; it is unclear whether the malware pipeline relies on GPT-5.3-Codex, a specialized model, or a hybrid LLM plus conventional static/dynamic analysis stack.

Use cases
• Security teams seeking integrated code-vulnerability scanning and malware triage within a single interface.
• SOC analysts needing rapid artifact extraction, hash-based tracking, and structured verdicts for incident tracking.

Limitations and unknowns
• Access model is unspecified: private beta, Pro-tier, or restricted via Trusted Access for Cyber remains unclear.
• Underlying analysis engines, model variants, and isolation guarantees for handling malicious binaries have not been disclosed.
• No formal documentation or published detection performance metrics for the malware pipeline yet; prior 92% detection rate applies to repository code scanning benchmarks.

References / artifacts reported
• SHA256 hashes and downloadable artifact bundles are part of the job output.
• Backend reference: Sediment (staging/analysis engine).
