AI coding tools skip rate limiting on login routes, study finds
A developer tested 50 AI-generated login endpoints and found none had rate limiting, leaving them vulnerable to brute-force attacks. The author notes that adding a rate limiter requires just four lines of code and one npm install. The pattern persists across Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding assistants.

The finding underscores a systemic blind spot in AI code generation: it optimizes for correctness, not security, which could lead to widespread vulnerabilities in production apps.
