snyk.io updates app.snyk.io/projects

New

We’ve released a hotfix for our Visual Studio Code IDE plugin (v2.21.1) to address the following issues:

• Improved handling of local certificates in environments configured with a network proxy. This resolves potential failures, such as when the IDE downloads required components.
• Routine enhancements: Incorporates routine enhancements for reliability.

Release notes can be found here.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the Snyk support team.

We encourage everyone to upgrade to the latest version!

New

Probely's upcoming release (April 22nd) brings forth a new feature for Enterprise customers: Managed reports! 🎉

Managed reports (or Saved reports) allow you to generate PDF reports of findings from multiple targets at the same time, based on a specific search/filter criteria; e.g. you can generate a report of all High findings across all targets from your account or from a specific team!

With this release, all Enterprise accounts should be able to see the Reports button on the top right corner of the Findings page and perform 1 of 3 tasks:

• Generate a new report of the findings listed, taking into account the search and filters applied on the interface
• Save a report that will take into account the search and filters applied on the interface, and that can be automatically emailed based on a set recurrence, or manually downloaded when needed
• Manage previously saved reports, allowing for easier access to previous filters/searches or download of existing reports

For any suggestions, questions or concerns please reach out to the Snyk support team.

Improved

We are updating the default landing page after users log into Snyk to surface the most useful insights - easily.

💡 Users with access to group-level reporting and Snyk Essentials will land on the Inventory Overview tab. This includes all users that have the default roles of Group Admin or Group Viewer.

💡 Otherwise, users will land on the org-level Projects tab.

This update will be rolled out on April 22.

New

We’ve released a CLI hotfix (v1.1296.2) to enhance the following use cases and introduce new capabilities:

• Experimental Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration: Enables integrating Snyk scans (Open Source & Code) into MCP-compatible tools using the new snyk mcp --experimental command. This allows the CLI to act as an MCP server for these integrations. Note: This feature is experimental and may evolve. You can read more about Snyk MCP here.

• Routine enhancements: Incorporates routine enhancements for security and reliability.

New

We’re excited to announce that Reachability for C# is now available in Early Access! 🎉

With this release, you gain an essential signal for assessing risk & prioritizing vulnerabilities in NuGet dependencies across all of your .NET projects.

Reachability for Snyk Open Source works by analyzing your source code with Snyk's DeepCode AI Engine to determine whether a path to vulnerable code can be found, whether directly or transitively.

This insight helps you gauge the likelihood of exploitation and enables you to make more informed decisions about how to address vulnerabilities.

Whether used independently or as part of a comprehensive risk-based prioritization strategy with Risk Score, Reachability helps you focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most.

Visit Snyk Preview to enable this feature and start gaining deeper insights into your C# codebase today.

Improved

In 2025, Snyk Code will improve PR check performance for Java and C#, enabling faster scans.

As a preparation, this update restructures some rules, simplifying the result set while maintaining detection accuracy.

What’s New?

• Java CSRF/XSS Detection: Focuses on pom.xml and selected Java classes to better understand global application context.
• C# Config Lookup: Limits security configuration checks to key files like web.config and Startup.cs.

This update will roll out as part of our Java and C# language support on April 29, 2025.

Improved

Starting May 1, 2025, Snyk Code will support Java 21 across all integrations, enabling full project scanning and improved accuracy.

• Java 21: Support for new language features including record patterns and sealed classes.
• Analysis Engine: Enhanced program analysis to align with Java 21 syntax and semantics.
• Ruleset: Updated to cover security-relevant classes introduced in Java 21.

These updates will roll out as part of Snyk Code’s GA support for Java 21 and may result in changes to findings.

New

We’re thrilled to announce the integration of Snyk’s AI-powered security platform with Google Gemini Code Assist, a cutting-edge AI coding assistant.

This collaboration brings together Snyk’s trusted application security capabilities and Gemini’s advanced AI coding tools to revolutionize secure software development.

With this integration, developers can now:

• Seamlessly secure code within their IDE: Access Snyk’s powerful Snyk Code, Snyk Open Source, and Infrastructure as Code scanning directly through Gemini Code Assist.
• Leverage natural language prompts: Type @Snyk in Gemini to scan code, prioritize vulnerabilities, and even auto-remediate issues using Snyk’s DeepCode AI Fix—all without leaving your workflow.
• Streamline productivity without compromising security: No more switching between tools—security insights are now embedded directly into your coding environment.

Why It Matters

AI-generated code transforms development, but studies show that 40% of such code contains vulnerabilities. This integration ensures that security is embedded early in the development process, enabling teams to innovate confidently while mitigating risks.

This integration is part of our commitment to empowering developers and security teams with tools that make secure development effortless and efficient.

Early access

Snyk Code Consistent Ignores is now available in Early Access via Snyk Preview.

Snyk Code Consistent Ignores helps your teams focus on the important risk by filtering out distractions, ensuring that once an ignore is created, it is consistently respected regardless of how and where the test is run.

Snyk Code ignores span across branches, integrations, and Snyk Projects within a repository. Notably, this means that ignores are respected and won’t fail tests throughout the SDLC, including in IDE plugins, the CLI, and native PR checks.

Documentation outlining the details of this new functionality is available here.

Improved

From April 23rd 2025, Snyk Open Source's will support SCM integration scanning of pip and pipenv applications using Python 3.13, as follows:

• pip: Snyk will use Python 3.13 for SCM scans when specified in Organisation settings, or .snyk files.
• pipenv: Snyk will scan using Python 3.13 if specified in the projects Pipfile.

In both cases, the updated results will be available after the projects next retest.

⚠️ Note that ror relevant projects, the numbers of dependencies and issues may increase.

FAQ

Q: How do I specify Python version for pip projects?

This can be defined in Organization settings, or on a per-repo basis using .snyk files. See documentation.

Q: How do I specify Python version for pipenv projects?

Snyk will use the Python version specified in the projects Pipfile

Before this release, a Pipfile specifying Python 3.13 (or any other unsupported version) would be scanned with a default version of 3.10 instead.

Q: How does Python version affect accuracy of Snyk scans?

Some Python packages depend on specific Python versions, and developers must build these apps in an environment with a compatible Python version for them to be installed correctly.

Similarly, to provide the most accurate results, Snyk must be configured to use the same Python version used by your application.
