Source Code Security Analysis

Find vulnerabilities
before they ever
reach production

Expert manual code review that catches what static analysis tools miss — logic flaws, authentication weaknesses, and security anti-patterns buried deep in your codebase.

Overview

Security that starts at the source

Penetration testing finds vulnerabilities in deployed software. Secure code review finds them before they ship — when they're cheapest to fix, before they're exposed to the internet, and before an attacker can find them first.

Our code reviews go far beyond automated SAST tools. Static analysis catches syntax-level patterns. Human experts catch logic flaws — authentication bypasses, broken access control, race conditions, and insecure design decisions that only make sense when you understand what the code is actually trying to do.

Every review is conducted by senior application security engineers with hands-on offensive experience. We read your code the way an attacker would — looking for exploitable weaknesses, not just guideline violations.

Language Coverage

Your stack, reviewed by people who know it

We assign reviewers based on deep expertise in your specific language and framework — not generic checklists.

JS
JavaScript / TypeScript
Node.js, React, Next.js — prototype pollution, XSS sinks, and async auth flaws
Py
Python
Django, Flask, FastAPI — SSTI, deserialization, and ORM injection patterns
Jv
Java / Kotlin
Spring Boot — XXE, deserialization, SSRF, and Java cryptography misuse
Go
Go
Goroutine races, insecure crypto, SQL injection, path traversal
Rb
Ruby
Rails — mass assignment, unsafe redirects, IDOR, gem auditing
C#
.NET / C#
ASP.NET Core — OIDC misconfigs, Razor injection, viewstate attacks
PHP
PHP
Laravel, WordPress — LFI, RCE via deserialization, file upload flaws
Sw
Swift / Obj-C
iOS — keychain misuse, insecure URL schemes, ATS bypass
What We Find

Vulnerabilities that scanners miss

Automated tools catch known patterns. Our engineers catch vulnerabilities that require understanding your application's logic, context, and intent.

Authentication & Session Flaws
Broken login logic, insecure password resets, session fixation, JWT vulnerabilities, and OAuth implementation errors that automated tools can't reason about.
Access Control & IDOR
Missing authorization checks, insecure direct object references, privilege escalation paths, and horizontal access control failures.
Injection Vulnerabilities
SQL, NoSQL, LDAP, command, and template injection. We trace user-controlled input through every execution path including chained and indirect flows.
Cryptographic Weaknesses
Weak or custom ciphers, improper IV reuse, insecure random number generation, hardcoded keys, and password hashing with MD5 or SHA-1.
Business Logic Flaws
Race conditions, price manipulation, workflow bypass, and application-specific logic errors that only surface when someone understands the intended business rules.
Supply Chain & Dependency Risk
Known CVEs in third-party packages, abandoned or typosquatted libraries, overly permissive access, and malicious code in pulled dependencies.
Methodology

How we approach every review

We combine automated scanning with deep manual analysis — tools handle the low-hanging fruit, freeing our engineers to focus on the complex logic and design-level vulnerabilities only humans can catch.

Scoping & Onboarding
We agree on scope — full codebase, specific modules, or a pre-release feature. Secure repo access established and threat model discussion completed.
Automated Baseline
SAST tools and dependency scanners run first. All results triaged and validated before reaching our engineers — no false-positive dumps in the final report.
Manual Deep Review
Senior engineers trace data flows, audit auth and authorization logic, review crypto implementations, and probe business logic for exploitable weaknesses.
Report, Fix & Retest
Findings delivered with vulnerable code snippets and secure fix examples. Once remediated, we verify every fix and issue a final clean report and attestation letter.
When to Use It

The right time for a code review

Secure code review adds the most value at key moments in your development lifecycle — before risk is shipped, not after.

Pre-launch security validation
Before shipping a major product or feature — when fixes are still cheap and no users are at risk.
Compliance requirements
PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 require or strongly recommend code-level security review as part of a secure SDLC.
Third-party or acquired code
Integrating a library, acquiring a company, or inheriting legacy code? Know exactly what security debt comes with it.
Post-incident remediation
After a breach or pentest finding, confirm the root cause is fully fixed and identify related weaknesses in the same codebase.
What you receive
Full findings report with vulnerable code snippets and CVSS scores
Secure code fix examples for every finding — not just descriptions
Executive summary for leadership and compliance evidence
Prioritized remediation roadmap — severity and effort weighted
Dependency audit with CVE references and upgrade paths
Architecture and design recommendations where applicable
Retest report confirming all findings resolved in codebase
Letter of attestation for auditors, partners, or clients
Why Radical Security

The Radical difference

Secure code review is only as good as the engineers doing it. Our reviewers are offensive security practitioners who find vulnerabilities for a living — not compliance analysts running checklists.

Offensive mindset
We approach your code as an attacker would — tracing data flows, probing logic boundaries, and looking for what the code does wrong, not just what best practices it misses.
Language specialists
We assign reviewers with deep expertise in your specific stack. Python flaws look different from Java flaws — you get engineers who know your language's pitfalls intimately.
Fix-ready reports
Every finding includes the vulnerable lines, a clear explanation of why it's exploitable, and a concrete secure code example. Developers can act on the report the same day they read it.
No false-positive noise
We validate every automated finding before it enters the report. No 200-item scanner dumps — just real, confirmed, exploitable vulnerabilities with clear business context.
