Security in LLM-Assisted Coding: A Systematic Literature Review
Large Language Models accelerate software development but introduce severe security vulnerabilities. This systematic review investigates security risks in automated coding, benchmark limitations, and the role of human developers. Findings indicate that models frequently generate insecure code and faulty patches due to training data biases. Additionally, the models themselves are susceptible to direct attacks. Current evaluation methods suffer from data contamination and lack robust security metrics. Consequently, human oversight remains essential. Safer integration of automation will require more security-aware model architectures, stronger security-specific benchmarks, and more effective...
