Hardcoding Security into Every Commit: The Future of Snyk Secrets

Apr 23, 2026 By Kate Powers Burke In Snyk
In the modern software development lifecycle, the speed of innovation is often at odds with the security of our most sensitive data. As organizations embrace cloud-native development and AI-generated code, they face a phenomenon known as “secret sprawl”, aka, the uncontrolled and widespread distribution of API keys, passwords, and tokens across repositories, CI/CD logs, and developer collaboration tools.

I Tried 5 Prompt Injection Attacks (Here's What Happened)

Apr 13, 2026 By Snyk In Snyk
In this video, we explore the growing security risk of prompt injection in large language model (LLM) applications. As AI becomes embedded in more products, new vulnerabilities emerge, especially through natural language manipulation. We break down how LLMs work, the importance of system prompts, and demonstrate five real-world prompt injection techniques used to extract sensitive information or bypass safeguards. You’ll see live examples using different models and learn why newer models are more resilient, but still not immune.

Governing Security in the Age of Infinite Signal - From Discovery to Control

Apr 10, 2026 By Randall Degges In Snyk
Anthropic just open-sourced vulnerability discovery at scale. Now what? A few weeks ago, Anthropic launched Glasswing, a $100 million initiative to use AI to identify vulnerabilities at scale. Around the same time, they introduced Claude Mythos, a system that can autonomously discover and exploit software flaws. I wrote about this trajectory in my previous analysis: AI accelerates discovery, but enterprise trust still depends on deterministic validation, remediation automation, and governance at scale.

Secure What Matters: Scaling Effortless Container Security for the AI Era

Apr 7, 2026 By Pratip Banerji In Snyk
In November, we shared our vision for the Future of Snyk Container, outlining a fundamental shift in how teams secure the modern container lifecycle. We promised a future where security doesn’t just “scan” but scales effortlessly with the speed of the AI-driven, agentic world. Today, we are thrilled to announce that we are moving from vision to reality.

You Patched LiteLLM, But Do You Know Your AI Blast Radius?

Apr 2, 2026 By Rudy Lai In Snyk
For a brief window, a widely used open source package in the AI ecosystem was compromised with credential-stealing malware. LiteLLM, a model gateway used to route requests to more than 100 LLM providers, has been downloaded millions of times per day. In that short window, the malicious versions were likely pulled tens of thousands of times before being caught.

Axios npm Package Compromised: Supply Chain Attack Delivers Cross-Platform RAT

Mar 30, 2026 By Liran Tal In Snyk
On March 31, 2026, two malicious versions of axios, the enormously popular JavaScript HTTP client with over 100 million weekly downloads, were briefly published to npm via a compromised maintainer account. The packages contained a hidden dependency that deployed a cross-platform remote access trojan (RAT) to any machine that ran npm install (or equivalent in other package managers like Bun) during a two-hour window. The malicious versions (1.14.1 and 0.30.4) were removed from npm by 03:29 UTC.

GitHub Spark vs. Replit - Vibe Code Challenge

Mar 30, 2026 By Snyk In Snyk
We pit GitHub Spark (in public preview) against Replit's AI agent. The challenge? Build a fully functional community forum for DIY tips from a single prompt. We compare design aesthetics, mobile responsiveness, login security, and deployment speed to see which tool creates a truly production-ready application. Which one do you think deserved the win? Let me know in the comments!

The 5 Principles of Snyk's Developer Experience

Mar 26, 2026 By Mayank Khera In Snyk
In the age of AI-driven development, speed is the new baseline. But as AI agents accelerate the pace of coding, they also amplify the risk of security bottlenecks. At Snyk, we believe a superior Developer Experience (DX) is the only way to secure this new frontier. DX is not just a layer on top of the product. It is the foundation that allows developers to unleash AI innovation securely. We think of DX as a system of decisions that compound over time.

From Discovery to Defense: Why AI Red Teaming Is the Next Step After AI-SPM

Mar 25, 2026 By Agnieszka Koc In Snyk
This week, we announced the general availability of Evo AI-SPM, the first operational layer of Snyk’s AI Security Fabric. AI-SPM gives security teams something they’ve never had before: a system of record for AI risk, with the ability to discover models, frameworks, datasets, and agent infrastructure embedded directly in code. For many organizations, that discovery step is a breakthrough.
