In a recent announcement, Anthropic has introduced automated security review capabilities for its Claude Code platform. These new features allow developers to scan their code for vulnerabilities and implement fixes directly within their existing workflows.

The security review tools include a new `/security-review` command that can be run from the terminal, enabling developers to perform ad-hoc security analyses before committing code. This command checks for common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection risks, cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities, and insecure data handling.

Additionally, a GitHub Action has been introduced to automate security reviews for new pull requests. This action automatically triggers on new pull requests, reviews code changes for vulnerabilities, and posts inline comments with recommendations for fixes. This integration ensures a consistent security review process across development teams.

These features are now available to all Claude Code users, providing an accessible way for both large enterprises and smaller development teams to enhance their code security practices.
