Secure Source Code Review

Static application security testing (SAST) combined with manual code review across Java, Python, .NET, PHP, Node.js and Go codebases. Find hardcoded secrets, injection flaws, insecure crypto and business logic errors.

Automated + manual testing 1-2 week delivery (by size) Starts from INR 30K Instant response, no delay Free retest included

At a Glance

  • Engagement type: Static Application Security Testing (SAST) + manual code review
  • Coverage: OWASP, CERT, secure coding standards across Java, Python, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Go
  • Typical duration: 1-3 weeks total, based on codebase size and language mix
  • Starts from INR 30,000: fixed price scoped after a free 30-minute call
  • Response time: instant, no delay. We start same day or next business day after scoping

What is It?

A secure source code review combines automated SAST tools with manual code review by experienced security consultants. We identify hardcoded secrets, injection flaws (SQL, command, LDAP, XPath), insecure cryptography, authentication weaknesses and business logic errors that scanners miss.

Codesecure's code review is delivered under signed NDA, with strict access controls and confidentiality. Every engagement combines tools (Semgrep, Checkmarx, SonarQube, custom rules) with manual review. Output is developer-actionable with code-level fixes, not just CWE references.

Why It Matters

Code-level vulnerabilities introduced during development are the cheapest to fix and most expensive to exploit. A single SQL injection in production can leak customer data, trigger DPDP penalties and force expensive incident response. Catching it in code review costs hours instead.

Indian SaaS, fintech and regulated software vendors increasingly need code review evidence for procurement, ISO 27001 Annex A.8.28 (secure coding), SOC 2 trust criteria and regulatory submissions. Insurance underwriters and acquirers also commonly request recent code review reports.

What We Test

Comprehensive coverage of the most exploitable risk categories for this service:

Hardcoded SecretsAPI keys, database credentials, encryption keys, tokens in source and commits
Injection FlawsSQL injection, NoSQL injection, OS command, LDAP, XPath, template injection
Insecure CryptographyWeak algorithms, ECB mode, hardcoded keys, weak random, expired certificates
Authentication LogicPassword storage, session management, token generation, OAuth flow correctness
Authorization LogicServer-side authorization, RBAC enforcement, IDOR-enabling patterns
Input ValidationSanitization, encoding, whitelist validation, XXE, deserialization
Business LogicRace conditions, workflow bypass, financial logic, state machine flaws
Third-Party DependenciesKnown vulnerable libraries, license compliance, supply chain risk
Logging & Error HandlingPII in logs, verbose errors, information disclosure
Secure ConfigurationHardcoded debug flags, default credentials, insecure defaults

Our Methodology

Every engagement follows a 5-phase methodology aligned with PTES, NIST SP 800-115 and OWASP testing guides:

1

Scoping & Reconnaissance

Free scoping call, signed NDA, fixed-price proposal in 24-48 hours. Asset discovery, OSINT, attack surface mapping.

2

Threat Modeling

Targeted threat models against OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, your specific business logic and applicable compliance frameworks.

3

Automated & Manual Testing

Automated SAST (Semgrep, Checkmarx, SonarQube, Snyk Code) combined with manual review by security-trained engineers fluent in your stack. Custom Semgrep rules built for your specific patterns. Real exploitability validation, not just static findings.

4

Reporting & Walkthrough

Executive summary plus technical report mapped to OWASP, CVSS v3.1 and your compliance frameworks. Live walkthrough with your engineering team.

5

Retest & Sign-Off

Free retest of all critical and high findings within 30 days. Formal sign-off letter and certificate. Customer data deleted 90 days after sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions

What languages do you cover?

Java, Python, .NET (C#, VB.NET), PHP, Node.js (JavaScript/TypeScript), Go, Ruby, Kotlin, Swift. Other languages quoted separately. Mixed-language codebases supported in a single engagement.

How do you handle confidentiality?

Strict access controls. Source code reviewed only by named consultants, accessed via secure jump host or encrypted local copy, deleted within 90 days of sign-off. Mutual NDA on every engagement.

How long does a code review take?

Most codebases complete in 1-3 weeks. Small codebases under 50K LOC: 5-10 days; mid-size (50-200K LOC): 2 weeks; large (200K-1M LOC): 3+ weeks. Instant response, starting same/next business day after scoping.

What does it cost in INR?

Pricing starts from INR 30,000 and varies by lines of code, language count and depth (high-level review vs. comprehensive deep dive). Fixed price after free 30-minute scoping call.

How quickly can you start?

Instant response, no delay. Response within an hour during business hours, proposal within 24-48 hours under signed NDA, review starts same/next business day after code access provided.

Do you need access to our repository?

Read-only access preferred (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps). Alternatively a tarball/zip export works. We do not require commit access or production environment access.

Will you fix vulnerabilities you find?

Reports include developer-actionable code-level fixes with sample patches where applicable. Optional follow-on remediation consulting available, where our team works alongside yours to implement fixes.
