Automated scanners like Fortify and Checkmarx satisfy PCI DSS 6.3.2 but miss flaws found in manual review, especially authentication bugs, and false positives often overwhelm developers.

We were asked by a customer about performing code review based on the PCI requirements.

Trail of Bits added a Rust testing chapter to its Testing Handbook: Miri, property testing, Clippy, zeroization, Kani model checking and dependency vetting, plus the rust-review Claude Code plugin.

Rust improves memory safety in embedded systems, eliminating entire vulnerability classes, but logic, hardware, and cryptographic flaws still demand rigorous security testing.

NetSPI vibe-coded a web app with AI coding tools and tested it for vulnerabilities; the results were mixed, showing why AI-generated code still needs proactive security review.

NetSPI shows why .NET SecureString still leaks passwords in memory via NetworkCredential, and demonstrates safer login handling using pinned mutable byte arrays instead of immutable strings.
