Most vulnerabilities in applications are security holes due to insecure coding practices. Most of the time, developers are unaware of the seriousness of the security issues that can arise due to insecure coding. Often, development teams are not formally trained to write secure code, and the resulting code may meet business needs in terms of functionality, but have flaws that could lead to security vulnerabilities being introduced into business applications.

Source code security review exercises (also known as white-box application assessments) are an effective and foolproof mechanism for uncovering design- and code-level security vulnerabilities in business applications. It also helps ensure that critical code-level security controls are properly implemented. While application security testing (gray-box and black-box) can identify security issues, source code review is a foolproof mechanism for identifying vulnerabilities that are difficult or impossible to find in black-box or gray-box application testing.

Typical source code security review activities use a combination of automated code security scans and detailed manual reviews to detect security vulnerabilities in code, identify insecure coding practices, intentional/unintentional Trojans/backdoors and other known application security vulnerabilities (According to Open Web Applications) Security Project (OWASP) Top 10, Web Application Security Alliance (WASC) Standard, and SANS Top 25.

Our team of code security experts conducts fast and effective code reviews to help our clients identify design and code-level security vulnerabilities introduced due to insecure design and coding practices. After the code review is complete, our team provides the client with a comprehensive report detailing any security vulnerabilities discovered during the code security review and recommendations for securing the application code.

our methodology



The overall method flow of our code security review service is as follows:

  • Application environment understanding (including coding and deployment details)

  • Detailed application business understanding and key workflows

  • Perform automated source code review (or manual code review if language is not covered by automated tools)

  • Manual validation/analysis to eliminate possible false positives

  • Discuss and finalize with development team

  • publish report

our benchmark



Our comprehensive code security review complies with the following well-known global code security assessment guidelines, such as:

  • OWASP Secure Coding Guidelines

  • MISRA C, SEI CERT C

  • MISRA C++, JSF AV C++ Coding Standard, SEI CERT C++ Coding Standard

  • Safe Coding Guidelines for Java SE (Oracle)

  • Secure Coding Guidelines for .NET (Microsoft)

  • 25 Most Dangerous SANS Software Errors

  • and other industry-standard benchmarks for evaluating the security of application code.

Some examples of vulnerabilities found in code reviews are as follows (examples follow):

  • Injection attacks (SQL injection, code injection, command injection, LDAP injection, Xpath injection)

  • Insecure session management

  • Insecure cookie attribute

  • Insecure transmission of passwords and other sensitive information

  • Private IP disclosure
