Is XSS Dead in the Age of AI?

I think nowadays every development team uses AI to review code before release.
That's why I don't think XSS vulnerabilities even exist anymore.

No. Not all dev teams use AI, or even basic security tooling. And when AI is used, it won't catch everything. XSS is going to be around for a while yet.

It does as long as your aboe to find the right sinks and chain the vulnerabilities that could lead to it.

AI helps, but it doesn't eliminate XSS. It still depends on secure coding practices, proper output encoding, and thorough testing.
