I feel like, if it was a codebase without using any security analysis tools, there would have been some more significant findings - perhaps they can re-run it on an 18 month old commit and see how many it found that were subsequenty found and fixed?

Anyway, I think the case that frontier and next-gen models will get increasingly adept at finding vulnerabilities and that those on the receiving end of those vulnerabilities need to be on top of it.

Unfortunately that doesn't help much. LLMs are really really good at digging up known vulns, so much so that they often falsely declare known vulns as new and novel ones.

They have the CVEs in their training data, know how to look up ossfuzz logs, etc.
