What happened

A set of Snyk blog posts highlighting that AI-generated code and agent ecosystems are significantly expanding the software attack surface. Snyk reports that a large portion of LLM-generated code tests as insecure (~62%), argues static analysis alone is insufficient, and advocates combining code-level context with offensive dynamic testing (runtime/exploit testing) to determine what is actually exploitable. Snyk also announces ecosystem actions: a San Francisco innovation hub, a partnership with Tessl to add Snyk security scores to the Tessl Agent Skills Registry (bringing package-manager-like信
