The Bug
Lives
in the Code
Automated scanners find the obvious. Our security engineers read your code the way an attacker would — tracing data flows, chaining logic flaws, and finding vulnerabilities that no tool will ever surface.
What We Find
Every review covers the full OWASP Top 10 and beyond — manual analysis combined with custom SAST tooling tuned to your stack.
SQL, NoSQL, LDAP, OS command, and SSTI injection — tracing unsanitised input from entry point to database or system call, including second-order injection and ORM-level bypasses.
Broken algorithms (MD5, SHA1, DES, ECB mode), hardcoded IV/keys, predictable random number generation, insecure key storage, and custom crypto implementations that should never exist.
API keys, database credentials, JWT signing secrets, cloud access tokens, and private keys hardcoded in source files, config files, build scripts, and git history.
Broken auth logic, missing authorisation checks, JWT algorithm confusion (alg:none), mass assignment, IDOR, privilege escalation paths, and insecure session management.
Reflected, stored, and DOM-based XSS, server-side template injection (SSTI), unsafe innerHTML usage, missing Content-Security-Policy, and dangerous eval() / dangerouslySetInnerHTML patterns.
Path traversal, unsafe deserialization, unrestricted file uploads, XXE in XML parsers, zip slip vulnerabilities, and insecure temporary file handling that enables arbitrary read/write.
Review Methodology
Manual-first analysis with tooling assist — our engineers read your code, not just run scanners against it.
Codebase Intake & Scope
Receive source via secure Git access or encrypted archive. Map technology stack, frameworks, and entry points. Define high-value targets — auth flows, payment logic, admin functions, and API endpoints.
Automated SAST Scan
Run Semgrep, Bandit, ESLint Security, and CodeQL with custom rule sets tuned to your stack. Triage and de-duplicate findings — filtering false positives before manual review begins.
Manual Data Flow Analysis
Trace all user-controlled input from source to sink — manually following data through business logic, across service boundaries, through ORMs, and into storage to find what SAST tools miss entirely.
Business Logic Review
Review application-specific logic — transaction flows, access control decisions, state machine flaws, race conditions, and workflow bypasses that require understanding the application's intent to identify.
Dependency & Supply Chain Audit
Audit third-party dependencies for known CVEs, abandoned packages, typosquatting risks, and overly-permissive library versions. Review npm, Maven, pip, and Gradle lockfiles for supply chain exposure.
Annotated Report & Fix Review
Deliver findings as annotated code with line-level references, severity ratings, and exact fix recommendations. Optional: review developer fixes before merge and provide a cleared retest confirmation.
What We Support
We review codebases in every major language and framework — no stack is out of scope.
What You Get
Annotated Findings Report
Every vulnerability documented with file path, line number, severity, CVSS score, proof-of-concept explanation, and exact code-level fix recommendations ready for developers.
Executive Summary
A non-technical summary of overall code security posture, risk exposure, and top priority fixes — written for engineering leadership and CISOs, not developers.
Machine-Readable Output
All findings exported in SARIF format for direct import into GitHub Advanced Security, GitLab, and Jira — so developers can action findings without leaving their workflow.
Free 30-Day Retest
After your developers remediate, we review the fixed code and issue a retest confirmation — verifying that vulnerabilities are genuinely resolved, not just patched superficially.
Developer Debrief Session
A live walkthrough with your engineering team — explaining attack scenarios for each finding, answering fix questions, and advising on secure coding patterns to prevent recurrence.
NDA & Source Code Protection
All source code is received via encrypted channel, reviewed in an air-gapped environment, and permanently deleted within 30 days of report delivery. Your IP is fully protected.
Find the Flaws
Before Merge
Send us your repository — we'll review it line by line and return findings your developers can act on immediately. Most codebases reviewed within 5–10 business days.
