What happened

A Snyk blog feed covering emerging AI security themes: the formation of the AI Security Engineer role, Snyk’s partnership with the uv Python package ecosystem, CTF write-ups (web/AI/crypto/binary), and integration with Anthropic’s Claude for AI-driven remediation. The most urgent item describes a new supply‑chain attack dubbed “Clinejection,” where indirect prompt injection plus GitHub Actions cache poisoning enabled attackers to push unauthorized code to thousands of developers — highlighting critical risks in AI-assisted coding, CI/CD pipelines, and package supply chains.
