## Summary

Pokenushi, a developer and researcher, suggests using AI tools like **Codex** and **Claude Code** to check websites for vulnerabilities after AI-assisted creation. The article provides prompts to scan for unpatched issues, outdated software, exposed permissions, and leaked secrets in PHP, Node.js, Java, Laravel, and Chrome. It highlights recent fixes: PHP versions **8.5.12**, **8.4.27**, **8.3.36**, and **8.2.35** patched unauthorized access risks on **October 21**, while **Node.js** versions **22.23.4**, **24.22.1**, and **26.12.1** addressed data processing flaws the same day. **Claude Code** fixed a file-writing vulnerability in **2.1.251** (**October 26**), and **Claude Desktop** patched a malicious repository exploit in **1.8089.0** (**October 13**). The author warns that local fixes don’t guarantee server security and advises manual verification for sensitive sites. They also promote their own **ROGNALIA** service for affordable security diagnostics and maintenance, targeting individual developers and small businesses.
