We have found a new Prototype Pollution vulnerability in protobufjs (CVE-2023-36665). The maintainer of protobufjs has issued an update that fixed the issue on 27 June 2023. The vulnerability was discovered by Peter Samarin using Jazzer.js with our newly integrated Prototype Pollution bug detector. This finding emerged in part from our collaboration with Google's OSS-Fuzz and puts affected applications at risk of remote code execution and denial of service attacks.

We’re thrilled to announce that Snyk has been named a Leader in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing!

The landscape of application development is constantly evolving, driven by technological advancements and changing user demands. Over the past few years, we have witnessed the rise of generative AI, the “shift left” approach, and the increasing prominence of low-code/no-code development.

Ten represents the completion of a cycle and the beginning of a new one, as there are ten digits in our base-10 number system. We've scanned nearly 140 trillion lines of code, so we can’t help but pick up on the one and the zero in our exciting announcement. It's the tenth publication of the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Application Security Testing (AST), and we are pleased to announce we are a Leader for the tenth consecutive time.

Functional testing is a critical aspect of application development, and it plays an essential role in products being built within the Java ecosystem to ensure they meet their functional requirements and work as intended for the end user. As this method of testing is heavily based on validating “functionality” (i.e., “Does this application work the way we intend it to work?”), it is essential to utilize it throughout the development process.
