GLM-5.2 beats Claude on IDOR detection, costs 17 cents

Summary

Developers securing codebases can now run frontier-competitive vulnerability detection entirely on-premises with open weights, eliminating API dependencies and enabling fine-tuning for domain-specific access-control patterns without frontier-model costs.
