Snyk Vulnerability Scanning

Find and fix vulnerabilities in code, open-source dependencies, containers, and IaC with Snyk. Scans npm, PyPI, and more for CVEs, suggests upgrade paths and patches, checks Docker images and Terraform, and integrates security gates into pull requests and CI.

Snyk is a developer-first security platform covering SCA, SAST, container, and IaC scanning. This skill helps you scan dependencies and code for vulnerabilities, understand and apply fix recommendations, prioritize by exploitability, monitor projects over time, and wire Snyk checks into your PR and CI workflows.
