Integrating Snyk security into your development workflows is a crucial step toward achieving comprehensive software security.

Everyone is talking about generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and a massive wave of developers already incorporate this life-changing technology in their work. However, GenAI coding assistants should only ever be used in tandem with AI security tools. Let's take a look at why this is and what we're seeing in the data. Thanks to AI assistance, developers are building faster than ever.

On October 18, security researcher Zemnmez began the process of responsibly disclosing a "Use of Weak Hash" vulnerability that they found in crypto-js, an open source JavaScript library of crypto standards, for which maintenance has been discontinued.
