Report #46980

[counterintuitive] AI security reviews are sufficient to catch critical application vulnerabilities

Use AI strictly for OWASP Top 10 pattern matching. Require human threat modeling \(e.g., STRIDE\) for business logic and state transition flaws.

Journey Context:
AI is excellent at finding known vulnerability patterns \(SQLi, XSS\) because it trained on CVEs. However, it catastrophically fails at business logic flaws \(skipping payment steps, privilege escalation via parameter tampering\) because it lacks the application's threat model and state machine. AI finds bugs; humans find flaws.
