SQL Injection in 2026: Why Static Analysis Fails and How LLMs Fix It — Zayne Zhang (Hacktron)
Source: YouTube · Mastra · published Apr 7, 2026 · 17:50
Zane aims to reframe security as a science rather than a scary unknown, using SQL injection in 2025 as a case study to demonstrate why systematic reasoning about edge cases outperforms pattern matching. 0:250:300:38
Key Takeaways:
• Zane is a first-time attendee invited by Anna, drawn by the event's coverage of coding agents 0:090:18
• Security should be approached as a scientific discipline focused on logically reasoning about edge cases rather than simply scanning for known patterns 0:30
• SQL injection persists in 2025, as evidenced by vulnerabilities found in widely-used open source repositories like Gumroad 0:460:53
By grounding vulnerability detection in logical, scientific reasoning rather than relying solely on pattern-matching tools, security can move beyond reactive scanning toward a more adaptable and thorough methodology.

All right. Hey guys. Um I'm Zane. Um thanks Anna for the invitation. Um this is my first time here and I thought um yeah, it's it's pretty cool that the first time that I that I that that I go to this event um I heard about one of my favorite coding agents. So that's pretty cool. Um but anyway, um we're going to talk about security. Um it's always this like scary thing, but like I think what I'm trying to say is that like it's kind of more like a science and I I think um hopefully by the end of this talk um you know, um sort of appreciate why um I say that. But basically um I think the best way to start this is to talk about SQL injection in 2025. Um so we um yeah, we we we were looking around like sort of open source repositories and like trying to see um if there were good sort of open s…
