Report #55108

[counterintuitive] AI security review is superior to human review because it has memorized all CVEs

Use AI to scan for known vulnerability patterns \(SQLi, XSS\) and humans to audit authorization, authentication, and multi-step business logic flaws.

Journey Context:
AI excels at pattern matching known CVEs and common weakness enumerations \(CWEs\). However, it fails catastrophically on logical security flaws—like Broken Access Control \(OWASP \#1\)—because these require understanding the user's intended role versus their actual role, which is a semantic intent problem. Humans are systematically overconfident in AI security tools, assuming a clean AI scan means the app is secure, while entire classes of logical vulnerabilities go completely unnoticed.
