Report #83424
[counterintuitive] AI code review is superior for security because it has ingested all CVE databases and OWASP guidelines
Use AI to catch injection flaws and known anti-patterns, but enforce human review for authorization logic, IDOR, and business rule enforcement. Never trust AI to validate the 'actor' in a system.
Journey Context:
Humans overestimate AI security intuition because it easily spots OWASP Top 10 syntax errors \(like missing parameterized queries\). However, AI fails catastrophically on business logic vulnerabilities and authorization bypasses because it lacks a theory of mind for the system's actors and intent. It sees data flow, not who is manipulating it.
