This is such an overlooked aspect of coding agents, the code review process is significantly harder now because bug/vulnerabilities are being hidden under plausible looking code.

Hasn’t this been the case for entire categories of bugs? Stop me if you’ve heard this one before but we have a new critical 10/10 cvs that was dormant for the last 6 years…it was introduced in this innocuous refactor of some utility function and nobody noticed the subtle logic flaw….

This has always been a risk, but the likelihood is so much greater with LLMs.
