5 Reasons Security Fixes Don't Get Merged

Finding vulnerabilities was never the hard part. Getting the fix merged is. Snyk product data shows roughly six new vulnerabilities introduced for every one remediated, and agentic development is widening that gap.

This cheat sheet covers five failure modes that stall security fixes, and the signal and metric that diagnose each.

Use this cheat sheet to:

• Spot each failure mode, from broken builds to self-graded fixes.

• Pull the metric that shows which bottleneck is yours.

• Rank your bottlenecks and fix the one that moves merge rate most.
