Source Code Review
Systematic analysis of application source code to uncover security vulnerabilities, logic flaws, and compliance gaps.
Legacy software and custom applications often harbour hidden vulnerabilities that cannot be detected through external testing alone. A source code review examines your application from the inside out.
Our security engineers manually review your source code line by line, augmented by automated static analysis tools, to identify security vulnerabilities, logic flaws, insecure coding patterns, and compliance issues.
Whether your application is newly developed or has been in production for years, a source code review reveals the vulnerabilities that attackers will look for before they get the chance.
Source code review is the most thorough way to assess application security. It finds vulnerabilities that dynamic testing and penetration testing cannot reach.
What We Look For
Our review covers the full spectrum of application security concerns.
Injection Flaws
SQL injection, command injection, XSS, and other injection vulnerabilities that allow attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Authentication Issues
Weak authentication mechanisms, broken session management, credential storage issues, and privilege escalation paths.
Logic Flaws
Business logic vulnerabilities that allow attackers to bypass controls, manipulate workflows, or access unauthorised data.
Data Exposure
Hardcoded credentials, sensitive data in logs, insecure API keys, and improper handling of personally identifiable information.
Cryptographic Issues
Weak encryption algorithms, improper key management, insecure random number generation, and certificate validation flaws.
Compliance Gaps
Code-level issues that impact compliance with standards such as OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS, GDPR, and industry-specific regulations.
Our Review Methodology
Scope & Setup
Receive access to source code, understand the application architecture, and define the focus areas for review.
Automated Scanning
Run static analysis tools to identify common vulnerability patterns and generate an initial findings list.
Manual Review
Our engineers review critical code paths manually, focusing on areas that automated tools cannot assess effectively.
Report & Guidance
Deliver a detailed report with every finding, severity rating, and specific code-level remediation guidance.
