Report #56339

[counterintuitive] AI is superior at finding security vulnerabilities because it knows all CVEs

Use AI to scan for injection, XSS, and boundary condition patterns. Use humans to review for BOLA \(Broken Object Level Authorization\) and business logic flaws.

Journey Context:
AI is essentially a sophisticated pattern matcher for known vulnerability signatures. However, it fails catastrophically on authorization bugs because it lacks a mental model of who is supposed to access what. Humans intuitively understand the business domain and trust boundaries; AI only sees data flow and misses that a user is accessing another user's resource.
