AI-Generated Code Is Merging Into Your Main Branch. Are You Sure It's Safe?

Short summary

AI code generators frequently introduce security vulnerabilities like hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, and SSRF. Implement a GitHub Actions policy gate to catch and block critical issues before merge. Pre-merge security scanning is now essential infrastructure alongside unit tests.

• •AI-generated code commonly includes hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, SSRF, and broken access control
• •Standard CI/CD pipelines (linters, tests) don't catch security issues
• •GitHub Actions policy gates can block PRs with critical findings before merge
