Coming soon - Simplified Snyk Code taint flow view

When viewing a “taint vulnerability” in Snyk Code, we provide a visualisation of the dataflow between the source and the sink. This helps you to get an understanding of the reported vulnerability, decide whether it a true positive and work on a fix.

In some cases, dataflow steps that are unnecessary for understanding the reported vulnerability can be added, which can make it harder to understand and mitigate the reported vulnerability.

Soon we will be rolling out an improvement which simplifies the dataflow view in the web app by showing only the steps necessary to understand taint flow vulnerabilities.

This UI improvement will become available to all Snyk Code users on Wednesday August 28th, and no other action is required.
