APPLICATION SECURITY AUDIT

Find what’s broken before someone else does.

A rapid, technical security and code-quality audit for applications and platforms — from solo-founder MVPs scaffolded with Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Claude Code, or Replit, to funded startups shipping production SaaS. Comprehensive prioritized report with concrete patch suggestions in ~5 business days.

// Built for

Vibe-coded apps, indie SaaS, and funded startups.

Whether your codebase was scaffolded by an AI tool, hand-written by a small team, or accreted across two years of fast shipping — the methodology is the same. We look at what actually matters: auth, authz, data boundaries, secrets, API exposure, injection surfaces, dependency posture, LLM tool-use risks, and how production is exposed to the internet.

// Who this is for
  • Solo founders shipping vibe-coded apps to real users
  • Funded SaaS with paying customers and growing surface area
  • Indie developers about to launch and wanting a sanity check
  • Pre-SOC 2 startups looking for a posture baseline
  • Teams shipping LLM-integrated apps with tool-use surfaces
  • Healthcare-adjacent platforms handling PII or PHI

$500 – $1,400
~5 business days

For solo founders, indie hackers, and small teams shipping AI-scaffolded apps from Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Claude Code, or Replit. We audit the surface area that gets you breached: auth, secrets, API exposure, database authz, and the obvious injection paths — then ship a prioritized report you can actually execute on.

// Audit Scope

What we actually look at.

Ten focus areas across the application surface. We prioritize what attackers actually exploit — not a checklist of theoretical risks.

Authentication & Session Integrity

How users sign in, stay signed in, and what an attacker can do with a stolen token. Common ground zero for vibe-coded apps.

  • ·Password storage, hashing, and reset flows
  • ·Session tokens, JWT handling, and revocation
  • ·OAuth, SSO, and third-party identity integration
  • ·MFA posture and account-takeover paths

Authorization & Access Boundaries

Who can access what, and whether the rules actually hold across the API, the database, and the frontend.

  • ·Object- and field-level authorization
  • ·Multi-tenant isolation and cross-tenant leakage
  • ·Row-level security (Supabase, Firebase, Postgres)
  • ·Admin / superuser boundary review

API Exposure & Abuse Paths

Public surface area is where most apps leak. We look at what's exposed, what's rate-limited, and what's exploitable.

  • ·Public endpoint inventory and surface mapping
  • ·Rate-limiting, throttling, and abuse paths
  • ·Webhook signature and replay protection
  • ·Mass-assignment and IDOR risk

Secrets, Keys & Environment Hygiene

AI scaffolding loves to put secrets in client bundles. We look everywhere they tend to leak.

  • ·Client-side bundle and source-map secret leakage
  • ·Environment variable and .env hygiene
  • ·Provider key scoping (Stripe, OpenAI, Anthropic, Supabase, etc.)
  • ·Git history and accidental commits

Database Authz & Data Handling

Schema, authz, and how sensitive data flows through the system.

  • ·RLS policies and policy coverage
  • ·PII / sensitive-data inventory and storage boundaries
  • ·Encryption at rest and in transit
  • ·Backup, retention, and deletion posture

Injection Surfaces & Input Validation

Where untrusted input meets trusted execution. The classics, plus what's new in AI-scaffolded code.

  • ·XSS, SQLi, SSRF, path traversal, command injection
  • ·Server action and form action validation
  • ·File upload validation and storage
  • ·Deserialization and template injection

LLM Tool Use & Prompt Injection

If your app gives an LLM access to tools, data, or the user's session, this is the highest-risk new surface.

  • ·Prompt-injection surfaces and indirect-injection paths
  • ·Tool-use authorization and scoping
  • ·Output handling and downstream execution
  • ·Memory, context isolation, and data leakage

Dependency & Supply Chain Posture

Your codebase is mostly other people's code. We look at how exposed you are to it.

  • ·Known-CVE scan across direct and transitive dependencies
  • ·Lockfile integrity and pinning posture
  • ·Build pipeline and CI/CD trust boundaries
  • ·Third-party script and integration risk

Deployment & Infrastructure Hardening

Where the app runs and how it's exposed to the internet.

  • ·Hosting and edge configuration (Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, AWS)
  • ·TLS, HSTS, security headers, CSP
  • ·CORS posture and origin allowlists
  • ·Deployment and rollback safety

Observability & Incident Readiness

What you'd see if something went wrong — and what you wouldn't.

  • ·Logging coverage and PII redaction
  • ·Audit-trail completeness for sensitive actions
  • ·Alerting on suspicious behavior
  • ·Incident response readiness
// The Process

Five days. Four steps. One report you can actually act on.

01Day 0

Scoping Call

30-minute call to map your stack, deployment surface, and the areas you're most worried about. We confirm scope and timeline, then send a fixed-fee statement of work.

02Day 1

Repo & Surface Access

Read-only access to the codebase (GitHub, GitLab, or a zip), plus production URLs and a brief stack inventory. No credentials needed.

03Days 1–4

Audit Execution

Manual code review across the scope areas, supplemented by tooling for dependency posture, secret scanning, and known-CVE detection. We don't run live exploits against production.

04Day 5

Report & Walkthrough

Comprehensive prioritized report — severity, impact, location, suggested patch — plus a walkthrough call to review findings with you and your team.

// Deliverables

What you get at the end.

Prioritized Findings Report

Every finding tagged by severity (Critical / High / Medium / Low / Informational), with a description, location in the codebase, impact analysis, and a concrete patch suggestion.

Executive Summary

A one-page summary suitable for non-engineering stakeholders — your board, investors, or a security-conscious customer asking what your posture looks like.

Remediation Playbook

Findings grouped into actionable workstreams with effort estimates, so your team knows what to fix first and what can wait.

Walkthrough Call

A live review of every finding with your team. Solo Founder: 30 minutes. Funded Startup: 60 minutes, plus two weeks of follow-up Q&A on findings.

Critical findings get a same-day heads-up.If we find something that needs to be patched before the audit even concludes, you hear about it immediately — not in the final report.
