[counterintuitive] AI catches injection flaws but misses business logic vulnerabilities

Augment AI security reviews with explicit domain-specific threat modeling rules; AI cannot infer business constraints \(e.g., withdrawal amount must not exceed balance without fee\) from code structure alone.

Journey Context:
AI is exceptionally better than average developers at spotting standard CWE patterns \(XSS, SQLi\) because these are syntactic patterns abundant in training data. However, AI fails catastrophically on business logic flaws because these are semantic deviations from implicit, undocumented requirements. Humans with domain intuition catch these; AI sees valid code executing valid syntax.
