Well, I hope you don't have any important, sensitive personal information in the cloud?

These weren’t obscure, edge-case vulnerabilities, either. In fact, one of the most frequent issues was: Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-80): AI tools failed to defend against it in 86% of relevant code samples.

So, I will readily believe that LLM-generated code has additional security issues, but given that the models are trained on human-written code, this does raise the obvious question of what percentage of human-written code properly defends against cross-site scripting attacks, a topic that the article doesn't address.

If a system was made to show blogs by the author and gets repurposed by a LLM to show untrusted user content the same code becomes unsafe.
