AI-generated code is outpacing every manual remediation model in existence': Nearly all firms admit they have…
- Checkmarx research found 75% of organizations knowingly ship vulnerable code
- The time‑to‑exploit window is expected to shrink to just one minute, raising urgent risks for some sectors
- Vibe‑coded apps built entirely via AI chat are compounding exposure
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made it unaffordable for organizations to ship code they already know is vulnerable, but they seem to be doing so anyway, new research has claimed.
Security experts Checkmarx found shipping vulnerable code became “standard operating behavior”, with 75% of organizations admitting they often or sometimes deploy code they already know is vulnerable.
It is hinted in the announcement that companies were making somewhat calculated risks: less than a decade ago (in 2018), the average time to exploit a software vulnerability was 840 days. That was more than enough time to ship a product, get it running, and then sort out the kinks along the way.
AI ex machina
However, ...
