Snyk API & Web: Critical Severity Level (coming soon)
Get ready to supercharge your security prioritization! Snyk API & Web is rolling out a new Critical severity level for findings. This enhancement brings our platform even closer to industry standards, helping you zero in on the most urgent vulnerabilities that demand immediate attention.
Key Dates
September 2, 2025: The Critical severity level will become visible within the Snyk API & Web UI. While no findings will be assigned this severity yet, this is your prime opportunity to prepare your systems. Read this article for more information.
September 16, 2025: Snyk API & Web will begin automatically assigning the Critical severity to all eligible findings (those with a CVSS score of 9.0 or higher). Existing finding severities won't change unless they are detected in a new scan after September 16th.
This update empowers you to focus on what matters most in safeguarding your applications. If you have any questions, please reach out to Snyk’s support team.
