What an AI-Written Honeypot Taught Us About Trusting Machines
Intruder used an AI model to draft a honeypot prototype, but the generated code mistakenly trusted client‑supplied IP headers, allowing attackers to inject payloads via spoofed headers. The flaw went unnoticed by static analysis tools like Semgrep and Gosec, highlighting a gap in automated security scanning. This incident underscores how over‑reliance on AI‑generated code can introduce subtle vulnerabilities that evade traditional checks. The team’s experience serves as a cautionary tale for organizations adopting AI‑assisted development without robust review processes.
