Veracode's GenAI code security benchmark improved for the first time: the average security pass rate jumped from 56% to 62%, with a new high-water mark of 73% shared by two models. Ten models now clear 60%, up from four, and cross-site scripting (CWE-80) performance is finally climbing—evidence that LLMs are starting to write more secure code.
