Report #97559

[counterintuitive] AI security review is useless because AI misses obvious vulnerabilities

Use AI for known-pattern vulnerability detection \(CWE Top 25, dependency CVEs, common misconfigurations\) and humans for novel threat modeling, business-logic exploits, and chained attack paths.

Journey Context:
AI is weak at adversarial novelty but strong at recognizing patterns it has seen in training. The CWE Top 25 catalogs the most common, well-documented weakness types, which is exactly where pattern-matching excels. Humans, conversely, are better at imagining novel attack chains and understanding context-specific trust boundaries. The failure is treating AI as either omniscient or useless rather than partitioning the security workflow.
