Why it matters
Veracode's finding that nearly half of AI-generated code ships with exploitable flaws signals accumulating security debt for any engineering team scaling AI-assisted development.
Coverage of Veracode's 2026 GenAI Code Security Report finds that across more than 100 tracked large language models the average security pass rate for generated code sits at 56%, meaning roughly 44% of AI code-generation tasks introduce a known, exploitable vulnerability when no explicit security instruction is given. The report notes AI now writes close to half of all committed code, and the pass rate has barely moved from 55% in the prior snapshot.
