Product Updates

Starting June 1, 2025, Snyk Code will enhance its JavaScript analysis. This improves the understanding of function declarations, leading to more accurate scan results and a significant reduction in false positives.

• JavaScript Function Declarations: More precise recognition of various declaration methods, including prototype patterns, to improve taint flow analysis.

This update will be released as part of Snyk Code’s GA JavaScript support.

Customers participating in the Snyk Code Consistent Ignores early access can now convert pre-existing ignores created via project page or via API in bulk. Bulk conversions can be executed via UI from a project page and customers can also choose to write scripts for ignore conversion by leveraging the API.

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

We're excited to share that the REST Issues API now includes code details and issue descriptions. This enhancement significantly improves prioritization workflows, risk assessment, and the remediation of security issues.

The following fields will be added:

1. Snyk Code details

• File Path - allows tracing all Snyk code issues within a specific file.

• Code Region - guides the users to the specific lines and columns where the issue was found.

• Commit ID - allow users to match between Snyk Code issues to their commit ID, so that they can tell which specific version of code has the issue.

• Key Asset - allows to identify Snyk Code issues with a unique ID per repository.

2. Description - provides users with a clearer understanding of the issue’s nature and aids in prioritization.

For more information, please refer to the API documentation.

Stay secure,

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.

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.

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.

Starting March 14th, our updated Snyk IDE plugins will feature the General Availability of Delta Findings, revolutionizing how you tackle code issues. Now, you'll see only the new issues introduced in your current branch, eliminating noise and allowing you to concentrate on your recent changes.

This targeted approach empowers you to prevent issues early, streamline your CI/CD pipeline, and accelerate delivery.

We've also enhanced the experience with a new Summary section for seamless navigation between "All" and "New" issues views. Plus, we've added reference folder comparison, enabling you to compare your work with other branches or folders—perfect for non-Git projects.

Supported Products: Snyk Code, Open Source, and IaC.

For more details about the Snyk IDE plugins, please reference our documentation:

• Visual Studio Code

• Jetbrains

• Eclipse

• Visual Studio

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

We're excited to share that new improvements to the DeepCode AI Fix experience are now available across all Snyk-supported IDE plugins! Since launching the general availability of DeepCode AI Fix in the IDE last November, we’ve been continuously enhancing the experience to help developers fix Code issues more seamlessly.

What’s New?

• Expanded IDE support: DeepCode AI Fix is now available on Eclipse and Visual Studio, in addition to existing IDEs.

• Prevent repetitive fixes: Once a fix is applied, it can no longer be applied repeatedly, preventing redundant changes.

• Improved messaging: Clearer notifications when AI Fix cannot generate a quality fix.

• Quick feedback option: Developers can now provide thumbs up/down feedback immediately after applying a fix, helping us further enhance the experience.

How to Access

If you have Snyk Code and DeepCode AI Fix enabled, simply upgrade to the latest IDE version to start using the new enhancements.

Starting April 3, 2025, Snyk Code will enhance gRPC support across multiple languages, improving vulnerability detection in Python, Java, PHP, Ruby, Go, C++, JavaScript, Kotlin, and C#.

With this update, gRPC data sources are now included in taint flow analysis, helping teams uncover more security issues in gRPC-based applications.

These improvements will roll out as part of Snyk Code's GA support for these languages and may lead to changes in findings.
