AI-Generated Code Adds New Risks to Software Supply Chains

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from The Hacker News ·

AI coding tools introduce untracked dependencies and unpredictable outputs, expanding the software supply chain attack surface. Unlike open-source packages, AI-generated code lacks versioning, provenance, and vulnerability history. Security teams now must audit not just third-party libraries but also the model's training data and behavior.
