Can Open-Source LLM Agents Replace Static Application Security Testing Tools? An Empirical Assessment
Researchers empirically tested whether open-source LLM-based AI agents can replace traditional Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools like Bandit. The study found that current general-purpose open-source models underperform specialized security tools, suggesting agentic AI is not yet ready for autonomous vulnerability detection in real-world conditions.
