Source code review

Vulnerabilities caught before they reach production.

Security review of application and service source code, combining automated analysis with manual review of the critical parts: authentication, session management, input handling, cryptography and access control. We detect embedded secrets, vulnerable dependencies and insecure patterns, with fix examples for the development team.

What's included and what you receive at the end.

An engagement with a scope, a schedule and a final report, designed to answer a specific question. Everything in the report has been discussed beforehand: the final document confirms, it does not reveal.

What's included

  • Static analysis of the code and its dependencies
  • Detection of embedded secrets, keys and credentials
  • Manual review of the critical flows
  • A fix recommendation per finding, with examples

Deliverables

  • Technical report with findings by file and line
  • Session with the development team
  • Retest of the fixed version

How we work

The same method on every project, so results are comparable with each other and over time. Every finding is scored with CVSS and put in context according to the affected asset, how easy it is to exploit and the real impact on the business.

Phase 1

Scope and rules of engagement

Objectives, assets, time windows, emergency contacts and formal written authorisation.

Phase 2

Reconnaissance

We map the attack surface and inventory the assets, both known and discovered.

Phase 3

Analysis and controlled exploitation

We validate every finding manually, with no denial of service and no unnecessary data extraction.

Phase 4

Report and presentation

An executive report for management and a technical report for the team, with a prioritised remediation plan.

Phase 5

Retest and follow-up

We verify the fixes and update the status of every finding in DARKFORGE.
