Source Code Review

Manual Source Code Security Review (SAST + Human)

Line-by-line secure code review combined with deep SAST tuning, secret scanning and threat-modelled hotspot analysis — across Java, .NET, Go, Node, Python, Ruby, PHP, Rust and more.

Engagement Highlights
  • Manual code review by senior engineers
  • SAST tuning to eliminate false positives
  • Threat-modelled hotspot prioritization
  • Secrets, supply-chain & dependency review
Coverage

What We Test

Auth & Crypto Primitives

JWT, session, hashing, key derivation and TLS usage in code.

Input Handling

Injection sinks, deserialization, file paths, SSRF surface in code.

Access Control Logic

Authorization checks, multi-tenant scoping, role enforcement.

Secrets & Config

Hardcoded keys, env handling, IaC drift, debug toggles.

Data Flow

Taint tracking from sources to sinks across services.

Concurrency & Race

TOCTOU, locking, async pitfalls and double-spend logic.

Methodology

A predictable, hacker-led process

1
Scope

Scoping & Threat Model

Map assets, trust boundaries and abuse cases with your team.

2
Recon

Recon & Mapping

Enumerate surface, technologies, auth flows and data paths.

3
Exploit

Manual Exploitation

Hacker-led chains beyond automated scanners — business logic first.

4
Report

Report & Walkthrough

CVSS-scored findings, PoCs and a live walkthrough call.

5
Retest

Free Retest

Unlimited retests within the engagement window until fixes are verified.

Field Notes

Real-world findings from recent engagements

Case
CVSS 9.8

Auth bypass via JWT 'none' algorithm

Library accepted unsigned tokens when 'alg' header was 'none'; only one tenant validated alg explicitly.

Impact: Full account takeover across tenants. Patched + SAST rule added.
Case
CVSS 8.7

Hardcoded AWS key in monorepo

Long-lived access key for production S3 committed in an integration test fixture.

Impact: Rotated, scoped to IAM Role; secret-scanning gate added in CI.
Case
CVSS 9.3

Insecure deserialization in admin tool

Pickle-based RPC accepted attacker-controlled blobs from an authenticated low-priv user.

Impact: RCE as admin. Refactored to typed JSON contract.
