Source Code Pentest
Modern applications are increasingly complex, integrating multiple frameworks, dependencies, and third-party libraries. Even when an application appears secure from the outside, vulnerabilities may exist deep within the codebase, leading to critical risks like authentication flaws, broken access control, insecure cryptography, logic errors, and data exposure.
Our Source Code Analysis (Secure Code Review) provides a comprehensive assessment of your application's security posture by examining the source code line-by-line. We combine automated static analysis tools with advanced manual review to identify vulnerabilities that traditional black-box testing cannot detect.
Our Service Methodology
- 1
Scoping & Planning
We work with your development and security teams to define the scope, understand the technology stack, review application architecture, and determine which modules, repositories, or components require review.
- 2
Reconnaissance & Information Gathering
We analyze the structure of the codebase, its key functionality, data flows, external integrations, and sensitive components to build a complete picture of how the application works behind the scenes.
- 3
Threat Modeling & Attack Surface Analysis
We identify security-critical areas such as authentication, authorization, data handling, cryptographic operations, and business logic flows to prioritize sections of the code most likely to introduce risk.
- 4
Vulnerability Discovery & Manual Review
We perform a detailed manual review—supplemented by automated tooling—to identify insecure coding patterns, logic flaws, injection risks, weak configurations, hardcoded secrets, and misuse of security-sensitive functions.
- 5
Impact Analysis & Risk Assessment
For each identified issue, we assess possible exploitation scenarios, affected components, and potential business impact, ensuring you clearly understand the real-world risks introduced by insecure code.
- 6
Reporting & Remediation Support
You receive a comprehensive report with highlighted code snippets, reproduction steps, risk ratings, explanations, and precise remediation guidance—along with a complimentary retest after fixes are applied.
