Shipping Fast, Breaking Silently: Why AI-Generated Code Needs a Second Opinion
summary
AI-generated code speeds delivery but hides real risks: Veracode finds LLMs make the wrong security choice in 45% of curated tasks, and repositories see a 10x increase in vulnerabilities from AI-generated pull requests. Case studies show leaked API keys in vibe-coded apps, Open Claw with 900 skills of which ~20% are malicious, and a Wiz breach exposing 1.5M API tokens and 35k emails. Use latest models, require unit tests, run deterministic security scans (not just another LLM), monitor logs, and gate deployments with automated verification.
