[counterintuitive] AI code review systematically misses authorization bypass and business logic flaws

Supplement AI review with explicit authorization checklists \(OWASP ASVS V4.x\); never rely on AI alone for security review of access control logic

Journey Context:
AI reviews catch syntax errors, common vulnerability patterns \(SQL injection, XSS\), and style issues. But it systematically misses IDOR, privilege escalation through indirect paths, and business rule violations. These require modeling adversarial intent and understanding business invariants—neither of which AI does. A human reviewer asks 'what if someone calls this with a different user's ID?' AI doesn't. This is the gap between pattern matching and threat modeling.
