Why it matters
OWASP's guidance frames AI coding assistants as a new shift-left risk surface, giving defenders reference practices for catching insecure AI-generated code before it reaches CI.
The OWASP DevSecOps Guideline page on IDE and AI-Assisted Development Security covers securing the developer inner loop as AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and Cursor generate a growing share of code. It describes real-time IDE security tooling (Semgrep, Snyk SAST/SCA/secret detection) and the risks of AI coding assistants, including insecure code generation where models reproduce decades of insecure public-code patterns at machine speed.
