What happened
Snyk blog posts (Mar 17–20, 2026) highlight the security implications of AI-generated code and AI agents: arguing for combining static analysis with offensive dynamic testing to determine real exploitability, reporting that ~62% of LLM-generated code tests as insecure, and warning that AI agents/undocumented APIs enlarge the attack surface. Snyk describes partnerships and tooling to mitigate risk — e.g., a Tessl registry integration that attaches Snyk security scores to public agent skills, Cursor’s security agents that review ~3,000 PRs/week and surface ~200+ vulnerabilities, and a new San‑Fr
