To combat this, scrutinize libraries you're recommended and ensure secure protocols are used. Review your code, test it for bugs/vulnerabilities, fix things, and repeat. Also follow best practices laid out by orgs like OWASP. These aren't exhaustive tips and are treated as a starting point.

3/n

Abandoned libraries introduce vulnerable code. That AI agent you're using may go rogue. And the code that's generated may include insecure/deprecated protocols.
