Since 2026-10-14 the same refusal is answered with the type security-fix-nothing-fixable from POST /orgs/{org}/dependency-updates/security-fixes/requests. The paths above are deprecated and keep answering autofix-nothing-fixable until 2027-10-15. Branch on either type.

Example detail message returned with this error:

  • No open finding in this repository can get a security fix: none has a released fix in a supported ecosystem and manifest.

What to do
