Security testing for AI-built applications

Before you deploy an AI application, make sure it is secure

We test applications, websites and online stores built with AI and vibe coding. We run the code in an isolated environment, identify vulnerabilities and deliver a clear remediation plan.

AUDIT WORKFLOWTEST ENVIRONMENT
CODE REVIEWDEPENDENCIESAPI AND ACCESS TESTSREMEDIATION PLAN

The most serious flaws often do not break the application

The form saves data, the API returns a response and login works. The problem starts when another user can perform the same action, read someone else’s data or bypass validation.

ACCESS01

Missing access control

The endpoint checks whether the user is logged in, but does not verify whether they are authorised to perform the action.

DEPS02

Vulnerable libraries and dependencies

The project uses packages with known vulnerabilities or outdated components whose risk has not been assessed.

SECRETS03

Secrets stored in code

API keys, tokens or passwords end up in the repository, container image or browser-accessible code.

INPUT04

Incorrect input validation

The application trusts form or API input, allowing an attacker to alter query logic, user roles or the scope of an operation.

API05

Unsecured API endpoints

A function visible only in the admin panel may still be accessible through a direct API request.

IDOR06

Access to another user’s data

Changing an identifier in the URL or request makes it possible to retrieve a record belonging to another account.

WHAT WE TEST Access control, input validation and application behaviour outside the expected path
WHO IT IS FOR

For projects before launch or a major change

An audit is worthwhile when the code was built quickly, relies on many dependencies or has not undergone an independent security review.

TO GET STARTED

You do not need an in-house security team.
To start the audit, we only need:

  • Project code
  • Setup instructions
  • Description of key features
WHEN TO REQUEST A TEST6 EXAMPLES
01

SaaS application owners

When the product handles accounts, payments or customer data.

02

Startups before launch

When the MVP is about to reach its first users or an investor.

03

Teams using vibe coding

When the code was built quickly without a full security review.

04

MVP and prototype creators

When a prototype starts becoming a production product.

05

Online store owners

When the system processes orders, customer data and integrations.

06

Software houses

When an independent review is needed before project acceptance.

HOW WE WORK

How the security audit works

Before we begin, we agree on the scope, code transfer method, features covered by the test and the date on which the environment will be removed.

  1. 01
    STEP 01

    Code transfer

    A repository, project archive or temporary code access together with setup instructions.

  2. 02
    STEP 02

    Application setup

    We run the project locally in an isolated Docker environment using test data.

  3. 03
    STEP 03

    Analysis and testing

    We review the code, configuration, dependencies, API and the application’s most important workflows.

  4. 04
    STEP 04

    Findings report

    We document vulnerabilities, evidence, risk, potential impact and a specific remediation method.

  5. 05
    STEP 05

    Retest

    After the fixes are implemented, we retest the reported issues and update their status.

Every finding is described in the context of the application. The report shows the location, reproduction steps, potential impact and recommended fix.

VS-IDOR-01HIGH RISK

A user can retrieve another account’s data by changing the identifier in the API URL

LOCATIONGET /api/accounts/{id}
COMPONENTaccounts.controller.ts:84
CLASSIFICATIONCWE-639 / API1:2023
ISSUE DESCRIPTION

The endpoint validates the session but does not compare the account identifier with the user making the request. Changing the parameter returns a record belonging to another organisation.

POTENTIAL IMPACT

Exposure of another customer’s profile data, billing history and settings.

RETEST STATUS

Pending verification after the fix

CONFIDENTIALITY

Your code remains under control

We run the project locally in an isolated environment. Only the people conducting the test receive access to the code. Data retention and deletion rules are agreed before work begins.

NDA

We can agree and sign confidentiality terms before the code is transferred.

TRANSFER

Together we choose a secure way to transfer the repository or archive.

ACCESS

Access is limited to the people and resources required to perform the test.

CLEANUP

After completion, we close the environment and delete copies according to the agreed schedule.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions before testing

Essential information about preparing the code, environment and test data.

You can share a private repository, provide an encrypted archive or agree another secure channel with us. Before testing, we confirm the access scope and copy deletion date.

BEFORE DEPLOYMENT

Test the application before someone does it without your permission

Send us the basic project details.We will respond with a proposed test scope and price.

CONTACT

Describe the project and we will define the right test scope

To begin, describe the technology, project stage and features that need the closest review. You can also indicate the planned code transfer method or add a repository link.

!

Do not send passwords, API keys, tokens or production data. We will arrange a secure code transfer method separately.
