Why it matters
AI coding assistants are now used by the majority of developers, and nearly half of generated code carries exploitable vulnerabilities, making AI code security a growing concern for defenders.
Mindgard's guide surveys the 10 biggest security risks of AI-generated code, citing Veracode's 2025 finding that 45% of AI-generated code samples introduced an OWASP Top 10 vulnerability. It covers categories including insecure output, supply chain flaws, IP leakage, model poisoning, slopsquatting/dependency hallucination, and MCP misconfiguration, along with recommended controls like SAST/SCA scanning, AI red teaming, and human review.
