The Snyk Vulnerability Scanner extension for Visual Studio Code aims to simplify the process of finding and fixing vulnerabilities and license issues in open source dependencies, making it easier for developers to take responsibility for the security of their applications. The new extension integrates seamlessly with existing workflows and tools, providing a unified view of all security and quality issues in the codebase. It supports multiple languages, including JavaScript, Java, .NET, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Swift, and Objective-C, and offers features such as software composition analysis and static application security testing. The extension allows developers to easily install and connect it to their Snyk account, and provides a list of identified issues, bucketed into categories of open source security, code security, and code quality. It also displays detailed information on how vulnerabilities were introduced and how to remediate them, as well as examples of how others have fixed similar issues. The extension aims to help developers find and fix vulnerabilities early on in development, making it more efficient and productive for both businesses and organizations.
