About this tag
Code security discussions on WindowsForum.com center on the risks and verification challenges introduced by AI-powered coding tools and agentic workflows. Topics include Microsoft's MDASH agentic code scanner, which should initially target non-critical code before broader deployment, and SonarQube plugins that bring security checks into AI coding assistants like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot. A critical vulnerability class—AI Copilot command injection leading to local remote code execution in GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio—is also examined. These threads underscore the need for robust verification and governance as AI-generated code becomes more prevalent in software supply chains.
