Quote:
Because the model powering GitHub Copilot was trained on publicly available code, its training set may contain insecure coding patterns, bugs, or references to outdated APIs or idioms," a GitHub spokesperson said a statement to The Register after publication.

When GitHub Copilot synthesizes code suggestions based on this data, it can also synthesize code that contains these undesirable patterns.
