Veracode: AI now writes ~half of committed code, but security pass rate stuck at 56%
WeldPond · x · 2026-10-16
Veracode is hosting an October 22 webinar on its 2026 GenAI Code Security Report, whose headline: among organizations using AI tools, AI writes roughly half of all committed code, yet across 100+ models tested since 2023 the average security pass rate sits at 56% — near-perfect syntax, poor security. Topics include intent-based coding (explicit, framework-specific security requirements before generation), AI-SAST as a deterministic verification gate, and why 'we use the best model' isn't a strategy when even the top performer fails nearly one in three security tasks. It's a vendor webinar promo, but the underlying report data matters for anyone scaling AI-assisted development.
