GitLab customers can now reliably gate merges with Snyk PR checks

We're excited to share an improvement to our GitLab integration that ensures Snyk's Pull Request (PR) Check status always reports to the correct pipeline.

Previously, the PR Check status could appear on the wrong pipeline, especially with Merged Result Pipelines. This sometimes prevented GitLab's "Pipelines must succeed" feature from working correctly, potentially alowing insecure merges. With this update, you can now confidently set branch protection rules with Snyk PR Checks and merge with peace of mind.

• Enforce secure merges with confidence: Snyk PR Check status now correctly attaches to the highest-priority pipeline (Merge Result, Merge Request, or Branch). This ensures GitLab's merge gate always has Snyk scan results, so vulnerable code can be blocked reliably.

• Improved clarity for developers: The Snyk status now attaches to the right pipeline, removing confusion about which pipeline reflects the security scan.

This improvement has been rolled out to all customers today, and no explicit action is required. For more details, check our user documentation.
