A real-world honeypot deployment revealed how AI introduced a client-supplied IP header vulnerability that SAST tools failed to detect. The flaw allowed attackers to spoof IP addresses and inject payloads, demonstrating how AI can produce code with subtle security issues that appear correct on surface review. Even experienced engineers fall victim to this new form of human error, as AI reasoning models repeatedly generate insecure configurations despite corrections. Organizations using AI coding tools need stronger code review policies and CI/CD controls to catch these machine-generated vulnerabilities. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
