Code Models Are Insecure by Default
mdancho84 · x · 2026-07-13
This post points out a fundamental issue with code models: they are not secure by default.
- Trained on public code repositories, they inherit long-accumulated insecure coding patterns.
- Even with safety fine-tuning, these legacy risks are not automatically eliminated.
The emphasis is that code security cannot rely solely on post-hoc alignment patches; the data and training objectives themselves are critical.
