10 Security Vulnerabilities AI Coding Assistants Still Generate in 2026
Despite improvements in LLM safety, context-window limitations and 'vibe-coding' habits lead directly to these 10 repeatable CVE classes.

When AI agents generate code, they heavily bias towards the "happy path." They prioritize feature completion over defense-in-depth, leading to structural anti-patterns like dropping Row Level Security, embedding bare JWT secrets instead of environment vars, and trusting unvalidated input in critical workflows.
The Root Cause
LLMs read standard documentation perfectly. However, they lack contextual state awareness of adjacent files. If an AI writes an endpoint in /api/payment, it often assumes a generalized authentication middleware exists elsewhere. When it doesn't, the route ships entirely open.
Erzo's Recommendation
Always run a specialized static analysis pass over PRs automatically generated by AI. Generic SAST tools often lack the semantic understanding to catch missing RLS policies.
