New security risks across the agentic development lifecycle
Snyk found 76 confirmed-malicious skills among 3,984 analyzed and roughly a third of public MCP servers carrying exploitable flaws — legacy AppSec never modeled an agent as the author.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

32 releases under the trusted @redhat-cloud-services npm scope shipped credential-stealing malware in June 2026 — with valid SLSA provenance attached.
In a 300-run benchmark, the best LLM scanner hit 75.4% F1 while a deterministic SAST baseline hit 100% — but the real story is in what varies between runs.
CVE-2025-6514 let a flawed MCP proxy escalate to full remote code execution — a preview of why AI/agentic risk needs its own budget line, not a slice of the AppSec line.
No vendor covers model security, agent runtime policy, supply-chain risk, and code-level AppSec alone — partner-sourced ARR at one major vendor grew over 6x from 2023 to 2025.
Snyk's Evo Agentic Development Security, in open preview since June 23, 2026, hooks directly into an agent's tool calls — proof that pre-deployment review can't govern a decision made mid-session.
One engineering team cut critical vulnerability remediation from a week to 24 hours after wiring security checks into AI coding tools at the moment of code generation.
One forgotten npm maintainer account let an attacker republish all 142 packages in the @mastra scope in 90 minutes, hitting a package with 4 million monthly downloads.
MD5 and SHA-1 collisions were proven broken decades ago, yet they still power passwords, checksums, and signatures in production code today. Here's why—and how to find them.
