What happened
Collection of Snyk blog posts (Mar 17–20, 2026) highlighting the security risks introduced by AI-generated code and autonomous agents, and Snyk’s responses. Core messages: static analysis alone is insufficient—offensive dynamic/runtime testing combined with code-level context is required to determine actual exploitability of LLM-generated code (Snyk cites ~62% of LLM-generated code testing as insecure and notes AI agents calling undocumented APIs). Snyk describes AI-powered dynamic testing, a partnership with Tessl to apply Snyk security scores to the Tessl Agent Skills Registry, and examples/
