Identify potential security vulnerabilities
- All right, so now that we've seen how to create simple servers using generative AI tools, there's something else that's important to talk about, and that is the potential for security vulnerabilities in the server-side code that generative AI is going to create for you, right? So with the code that generative AI is creating, now, with simpler things like the server that we created here, right? REST APIs, simple endpoints, et cetera, it's usually not too big of a deal. You can usually be pretty trusting with these generative AI tools, but once you start working with things that are much more complex, such as authentication flows, API keys, things like that, then you're going to need to kind of shift your mindset with regards to generative AI and be not quite as trusting with it. So just to show you what I mean by this, let's say that you want to create a simple endpoint, you know, that will render data into an HTML file, right? So what this might look like is, we'll just say…
