How to Scan AI-Generated Code for Vulnerabilities Before Merge
Set up a CI gate with secrets scanning, dependency checks for hallucinated packages, and blocking SAST, enforced by branch protection on every pull request.

Set up a CI gate with secrets scanning, dependency checks for hallucinated packages, and blocking SAST, enforced by branch protection on every pull request.

AI-generated code fails security checks 45% of the time, Copilot repos leak secrets 40% more often, and shadow AI adds $670,000 to breach costs, per 2025 data.

Open source can't agree on AI code policy. Here's the 6-step framework enterprise IT leaders can use to audit AI-generated and shadow AI code.

A practical workflow for reviewing AI-generated code: acceptance gates, risk-based routing, dependency scanning, and where human review still matters most.
