What to focus on first
- 01
Use the same AI tools that generated the code to inspect for issues such as secret leaks, package hallucinations and misplaced client-side trust.
- 02
Check for weak input validation, broken object-level authorization and missing rate limits before exposing an API.
- 03
Review configuration for default credentials, overly broad CORS and IAM settings, and disabled data isolation.
- 04
Treat AI output as a starting point, not a security guarantee: verify findings against the actual code and enforce controls server-side.
