What happened

Snyk blog roundup covering AI-driven shifts in software security: LLMs are reviving millions of abandoned open-source packages (raising supply-chain and package-health concerns); the emergence of the AI Security Engineer role to protect AI-native systems; a Snyk–uv partnership to deliver high-performance, secure Python package management; Fetch the Flag CTF 2026 write-ups highlighting web/AI/crypto exploits and defenses; and integration with Anthropic’s Claude Code Security to close the remediation loop between vulnerability discovery and fixing at scale.
