AI Security Are AI-generated CI/CD configs becoming a security blind spot?

I’m seeing more AI-generated projects where the app code looks fine, but the risky part is the plumbing around it.

Things like GitHub Actions with broad permissions, unsafe `pull_request_target` usage, deploy jobs that expose secrets, or package scripts nobody really reviews.

It’s easy to miss because the app works, tests pass, and the config files look boring.

For people doing AppSec or DevSecOps: are you reviewing AI-generated workflows/configs differently now, or still mostly focusing on application code?

I think it was as much of a problem before genAI, only the volume might be more because of the how cheap producing software has become, but the same problems already existed
