Replit has published research indicating that AI-only security scans are insufficient for detecting vulnerabilities in code, especially for platforms like Replit where code generation is prevalent. The study found that AI scans are often nondeterministic and sensitive to prompt phrasing, leading to inconsistent detection of issues like hardcoded secrets. Furthermore, AI alone struggles to identify dependency-level vulnerabilities and supply-chain risks, necessitating a hybrid approach that combines AI reasoning with traditional static analysis and dependency scanning for comprehensive code security. AI
IMPACT AI-only code security scans are unreliable; a hybrid approach combining AI with deterministic tools is essential for robust security.
