According to IT之家 and Wired, AI-assisted scanning found more than 100 serious flaws in UK government public code

According to IT之家, citing Wired, security researcher Chris Nesbitt-Smith used Claude Opus and Sonnet to scan 349 public code repositories across 33 UK agencies and found more than 100 serious security flaws. He said about two-thirds of the repositories contained issues. The most serious case involved the Planning Inspectorate, where exposed Microsoft Entra ID credentials could access SharePoint, OneDrive and sensitive records. The agency said it fixed the issue within 20 minutes and found no data leak.
