Source Code Vulnerability Review
Is your code free of vulnerabilities? A source code review helps detect security flaws and coding mistakes before they are exploited by cybercriminals. Through static and dynamic analysis, we identify potential threats and deliver actionable recommendations to improve application security.
Benefits of Source Code Review
Early identification of security flaws
– Discover vulnerabilities during development and eliminate them before the application goes live.
Compliance with secure coding standards
– Our analysis is based on OWASP Secure Coding Practices and aligns with industry standards like PCI-DSS and ISO 27001.
Prevention of cyberattacks
– We scan for threats such as SQL Injection, XSS, insecure file operations, and authentication flaws.
Reduced cost of fixing bugs
– Detecting issues during development saves time and money compared to patching production systems.
What is Source Code Review?
A source code review (SAST – Static Application Security Testing) is the process of analysing an application’s codebase for security vulnerabilities. The goal is to detect flaws in authentication and authorisation logic, as well as exposure to cyberattacks.
During the review, we analyse:
- Data handling vulnerabilities – SQL Injection, Command Injection, Path Traversal.
- Authentication and authorisation flaws – weak login mechanisms, brute-force risks, session handling errors.
- User input processing risks – XSS, CSRF, improper data encryption.
- Insecure dependencies – detection of open-source libraries with known CVEs.
- Memory management issues – scanning for memory leaks and unsafe pointer usage (e.g. Buffer Overflow).
Thanks to our review, you gain confidence that your code meets the highest security standards.
We rely on industry-leading tools for source code analysis:
- SonarQube & Checkmarx – for static analysis of vulnerabilities and code quality.
- Snyk & OWASP Dependency-Check – for identifying insecure dependencies and open-source libraries.
- Bandit & Semgrep – for secure code testing in Python, JavaScript, Go, and more.
- Burp Suite & ZAP – for dynamic testing of web applications combined with source analysis.
- GitHub Advanced Security – for scanning repositories for API key exposure, access tokens, and sensitive data.
Our reviews comply with OWASP Secure Coding Guidelines, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001 standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you support all programming languages?
Yes, we analyse code in Java, Python, JavaScript, C/C++, Go, PHP, Swift, Kotlin and more. We adapt our tools to your technology stack.
Does the code review require modifications to my codebase?
No, the analysis is non-invasive. After the audit, you’ll receive a detailed report with security recommendations, without modifying your code.
Do I still need this test if I use frameworks with built-in security features?
Yes. Even trusted frameworks may have misconfigurations, insecure dependencies, or vulnerabilities introduced by custom code.
How often should I review my source code?
We recommend a review before launching any new application, as well as after major updates or refactors. Regular scanning of dependencies helps you avoid vulnerable components.
