What happened
Snyk blog posts (Mar 2026) warn that AI-generated code and autonomous agents are rapidly expanding attack surfaces: Snyk reports ~62% of LLM-generated code tests as insecure and highlights AI agents using undocumented APIs and third‑party “skills.” The posts argue static analysis alone is insufficient — offensive dynamic testing (DAST/interactive testing) is required to determine actual exploitability. Snyk describes operational responses: integrating code-level context with live environment testing, scoring/registry scanning for agent skills (partnership with Tessl), and automated PR review/
