Static Analysis in the Age of AI, Part I: AI Coding Assistants | Endor Labs

Summary

Endor Labs argues that AI coding assistants will eliminate most simple flaws that SAST tools currently detect, such as injection and cross-site scripting, leaving harder-to-detect logic flaws and irrelevant findings. The author says SAST must expand its context to cover the application, environment and controls outside the code under test, and must integrate into developer workflows (shift-left) rather than remain a downstream security-team activity.
