Steps

  1. Connect the repository through a supported SCM integration (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos) so Snyk can open pull requests directly.
  2. In the project's integration settings, enable automatic Fix PRs for new vulnerabilities and set the minimum severity score threshold that triggers a PR.
  3. Optionally enable backlog PRs to batch-create PRs for pre-existing vulnerabilities on a schedule instead of only new ones.
  4. Use the Snyk API to list Fix-PR-eligible issues per project and confirm which upgrades or patches are available before relying on auto-PR creation.
  5. Confirm Snyk automatically closes stale Fix PRs once the targeted vulnerabilities are resolved by another commit, to avoid a growing backlog of duplicate open PRs.
