Snyk Code Announcement: PHP Improvements

Snyk Code has been at the forefront of PHP static analysis since its launch 2 years ago.

In 2 weeks time we will roll out a new PHP analysis engine that is smarter. From our benchmarks, we expect a similar number of matches overall, but of much higher quality. This is due to three improvements:

• The new engine is capable of deeper analysis, and so doesn’t use approximations as often. This removes many false positive matches.

• Object-orientated code that makes use of classes, methods and properties is analysed much better, adding new correct matches.

• Interfile analysis is enabled, which detects vulnerabilities across multiple source files.
