Summary
Across four security domains, Gemini 2.5 Flash and Claude Sonnet 4.6 produced nearly identical results: both leaked password hashes from MongoDB queries without projection, both skipped audience validation on JWT tokens, and neither model added audit logging or input rate-limiting. Among 700 AI-generated functions tested against CWE-mapped ESLint plugins, 63% shipped a vulnerability, underscoring that model choice matters far less than the hardening gaps both omit.
