Product Updates

We’ve added a new Custom Headers module to the Scanner tab within Postman target settings. Much like our existing functionality for Web and OpenAPI targets, you can now configure specific headers and determine whether they should be included in the test surface or not. By default, we treat these headers as static prerequisites — such as authentication tokens — that are sent with every request to satisfy API requirements without being actively tested. If you select the checkbox to test a header, the scanner treats that header value as a testable attack surface and runs full security checks against it.

We’re introducing this update to give you more flexibility and precision when scanning Postman targets. Many APIs require specific headers to function, but not all of those headers need to be subjected to security testing. By allowing you to define which headers are static prerequisites and which should be actively tested, we’re ensuring your scans are both compatible with your API requirements and focused on the right attack surfaces.

You can now manage your Postman targets’ scan configurations more effectively by adding custom headers directly in the UI. When you view your results, the Scan results page for Postman targets now includes a Custom Headers entry in the USED SETTINGS module. This clearly indicates whether custom headers were Enabled or Disabled for that specific scan, providing better auditability for your security testing.

Starting on March 6, 2026, we’re introducing Credentials Manager to help you store and manage sensitive authentication data separately from your target configurations. This update simplifies secrets management and allows teams to share authentication setups without exposing actual credentials.

The Credentials Manager replaces the Secret Obfuscation feature, which is now discontinued.

Running dynamic application security testing (DAST) scans requires sensitive information like logins, passwords, and tokens. Previously, these were stored directly within each Target. This made it difficult to manage authentication across multiple targets and made regular password rotation time-consuming. We built this to provide a centralized way to manage these secrets more efficiently.

The Credentials Manager introduces several changes to how you handle sensitive data:

• Centralized storage: You store credentials in a dedicated place, keeping them separate from your Target configuration.

• Write-only secrets: Some credentials are write-only. You can use these in authentication settings, but the values remain hidden after you save them.

• Flexible configuration: You can still create credentials for a single Target if you do not want to save them to the central Credentials Manager.

We’ve added new analytics functionality to the Risk Exposure report to help you better understand and manage your security posture. We’re introducing clickable objects within the Risk Breakdown table that allow you to drill down into specific issues and assets directly from the report. To provide more context, we’ve also added tooltips for categories such as Baseline Issue, Non Preventable Issue, Preventable Issue, and Other New Issue. Additionally, the Risk Exposure Trend now includes new viewing options, allowing you to filter open issues by Snyk product, exploit maturity, and top organizations (Orgs).

We’re moving this report from early access to general availability (GA) to provide a more comprehensive view of your application security (AppSec) risk. By aligning widget filters and adding trend data for specific products and exploit maturity levels, we're making it easier for you to pinpoint exactly where risk is originating and how it's evolving over time.

You can now interact with the Risk Breakdown table and trend lines to open detailed drawers for specific issues and impacted assets. This makes it faster to investigate why a trend has changed without leaving the report. The new tooltips clearly define how we categorize different issue types, ensuring your team has a shared understanding of risk definitions. If you manage multiple organizations, the new "Top Orgs" view helps you quickly identify which areas of your business require the most attention based on open issue counts.

We are excited to announce the general availability of Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) detection for OpenAPI targets, starting today. This feature uses artificial intelligence (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs), to identify unauthorized data access risks. You can now test for these vulnerabilities using the built-in API Normal or API Full scanning profiles.

BOLA is ranked as the primary risk in the OWASP API Top 10. By automating the detection of this complex vulnerability, we help you move beyond manual security reviews and reduce the risk of data leaks. Our goal is to provide proactive protection for your APIs by identifying authorization flaws before they can be exploited.

To use this feature, you must configure API target authentication for two separate users. The second user acts as the attacker and should have the same or lower privileges than the first user, and should not have access to the first user's resources. Once configured, our scanning engines will automatically attempt to detect if the second user can inadvertently access data belonging to the first, providing clear visibility into potential authorization gaps.

To learn more, visit How to set up your target for testing BOLA vulnerabilities? in our user documentation.

We're excited to introduce the first automatic solution for correlating static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST) findings. By connecting Snyk Code issues with Snyk API & Web results, we can now pinpoint the exact line of code responsible for a DAST vulnerability, helping you understand exactly where your code needs to be fixed and speed up your remediation process.

Vulnerabilities discovered during DAST can often be difficult and time-consuming for developers to locate within the source code. This update automates that manual search process. By using artificial intelligence to map runtime findings back to static code analysis, we're helping your teams reduce the mean time to remediate and focus on fixing issues rather than finding them.

In order to use our SAST/DAST correlation, you just need to link your Snyk API & Web targets to your Snyk Code projects and scan your API & Web targets the way you're used to. We'll do all the heavy lifting for you, and show you the corresponding SAST issue that matches our DAST finding, with the context and link directly to the code that needs to be fixed to mitigate the vulnerability.

We’re expanding our analytics capabilities by making the analytics page available at the Group and Organization (Org) levels. Previously, this customizable view was only accessible at the tenant level. We've renamed the Reports page in the left navigation to Analytics at both the Group and Org levels. To access all reports, navigate to Analytics and select the Reports tab, which will display the Reports Catalog. We've also updated the URL path to use "analytics" instead of "reporting."

We want to provide Group and Org admins with a top-down, customizable view into their specific security data. By bringing the analytics page to every level of the hierarchy, we’re making it easier for you to gain insights without needing tenant-level access. This update allows you to build and customize dashboards that hone in on the specific metrics you care about, such as filtering by specific Orgs within a Group or tracking high-priority vulnerability trends across your immediate business units. This flexibility ensures you can focus on the risk data most relevant to your specific area of responsibility.

You can now build and view analytics dashboards tailored to your specific Group or Org. While we’ve removed the report selector dropdown, we’ve put redirects in place so your saved views and favorited pages continue to work. Under our current permission model, Group admins can view analytics for their specific group and all associated Orgs, while Org admins can focus on their individual Org data.

We’re replacing the OWASP Top 10 (2021) report with the newly updated OWASP Top 10 (2025) report. This update ensures that your security reporting reflects the latest industry standards for web application risks. We’ve also resolved a bug where filters were not correctly applied when navigating from the report to the issue details page.

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) updated their list of the ten most critical web application security risks in 2025. To help you maintain compliance and stay ahead of evolving threats, we’ve updated our reporting to map security issues to these current controls rather than the previous 2021 versions.

You can now view and filter security issues based on the frequency and severity cited in the 2025 OWASP rankings. To access this, navigate to Reports > OWASP Top 10 (2025). While the 2021 version of the report is no longer available in the dropdown menu, you can temporarily still access it via its direct URL if needed.

To learn more, visit OWASP Top 10 report in our user documentation.

We’ve activated direct links to Snyk Learn lessons within the findings details pages of Snyk API & Web. When you are reviewing a vulnerability, you can now find educational content under the Description tab. Snyk Learn provides hands-on lessons to help you understand, prevent, and fix security issues in your code.

We want to bridge the gap between identifying a security risk and knowing how to remediate it. By embedding these lessons directly where you work, we're making it easier for you to build security knowledge without leaving the platform.

You can now quickly access expert-guided security training for specific vulnerabilities you encounter. This helps you not only resolve the current issue but also acquire the skills to prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future, ultimately enhancing your overall security posture.

Experience greater flexibility in authenticating your scans with the new Signature capabilities for API targets. With Snyk API & Web, you can now configure signed requests using your own algorithms.

We added this feature to support complex authentication requirements that require signed requests. By providing a dedicated space to manage these signatures, we're making it easier for you to run automated security scans against protected API endpoints that verify message integrity and authenticity.

If you have the message signature feature enabled, you can now navigate to your API target settings to set up signing methods. This ensures your scans can successfully authenticate with APIs that require cryptographic signatures for every request.

To enable this feature, please contact the Sales team.

To learn more, visit How to configure Signed Requests for API Targets in our user documentation.

We added support for mutual TLS (mTLS) configuration for Web, OpenAPI, and Postman targets in Snyk API & Web. This allows you to extend your security testing to cover even your most strictly secured and authenticated endpoints.

We implemented this feature to support organizations that required higher levels of security or mutual trust between client and server. This allows our crawler and scanner to authenticate successfully with services that enforce strict mTLS requirements, ensuring comprehensive security coverage for your protected targets.

In the authentication tab for your Web and API targets, you will see a new CLIENT AUTHENTICATION CERTIFICATE module under your target Settings. You can use this to upload the necessary certificates for authentication. This change allows you to scan targets that were previously inaccessible due to mutual TLS requirements.

To enable this feature, please contact the Sales team.
