Expert Code Review Services That Keeps Development Moving

Automated tools often overlook the logic and structure that create real risks. Forgepath’s code review services combine intelligent automation with expert analysis to identify hidden weaknesses in your applications, APIs, and microservices. Our specialists evaluate session management, API access, and data flow to reveal issues that static scanners miss.

Through our secure code review services, we analyze how your code handles identity, secrets, and dependencies to uncover authorization flaws, business logic risks, and dangerous configurations. You receive verified findings, prioritized risk assessments, and actionable fixes your developers can implement quickly and confidently.

Our process ensures that every vulnerability is documented with exact code locations, reproduction steps, and drop-in fix patterns. Once fixes are complete, Forgepath performs a re-test to validate remediation, ensuring your development cycle remains efficient, secure, and audit-ready.

Secure Your Code From the Start

Build Stronger Software with Source Code Review Services

Forgepath blends automation with human expertise to provide an in-depth code security review across your applications. We focus on code paths that attackers target most, pinpointing issues down to the specific file or function.

Each assessment delivers reusable guardrails, verified tests, and developer guidance that keeps vulnerabilities from returning in future releases.

What’s Included in Our Secure Source Code Review Services

Forgepath’s source code review services give your teams complete visibility into application behavior, business logic, and data flow.

We use automation for coverage, then rely on humans for validation and exploitability.

Inputs: Performs in-depth analysis of an application’s structure and components including identification of languages, frameworks, databases, message queues, and more.
Triage: De-duplicate findings and trace data flows to real sinks (DB, templating, deserialization, file/HTTP, cloud SDK).
Validation: Engineers read affected files/functions, reconstruct the call chain, and attempt a minimal PoC where safe.
Outcome: False positives fall away; real issues are documented with file path, function, parameters, commit/sha, and exploit impact.

We examine the code paths that actually govern risk—not just “known bad” patterns.

AuthN/AuthZ: login, MFA, session rotation/invalidation, role/attribute checks, BOLA/BFLA on APIs.
Data Handling: input/output encoding, ORM use, file/SSRF, server-side template injection, deserialization.
Secrets & Keys: hard-coded tokens, repo history leaks, CI/CD variables, third-party credentials; rotation plan.
Crypto & Privacy: key/IV management, mode/strength selection, PII handling, logging redaction, retention.
Dependencies: package provenance, typosquatting/namespace confusion, vulnerable transitive trees.
Operational Hooks: error handling, audit trails, structured logs for detection.

We combine AST/CFG/DFG reasoning with manual review to pinpoint the exact break.

Static tracing: follow untrusted sources through helpers/middle layers to sensitive sinks; confirm trust boundaries.
Logic checks: business rules (ownership checks, price/quantity, state transitions) and mass-assignment vectors.
Evidence: exact line numbers with context, the failing assumption, a minimal exploit path, and tests to reproduce.

data-start=”5069″ data-end=”5208″>We leave teams with reusable guardrails so the same class of bug doesn’t return.

Drop-in fixes: framework-specific patterns (e.g., Express middleware, Spring method security, .NET authZ attributes, Django signals).
PR & Lint Rules: checklist items, pre-commit hooks, typed validators/serializers, ESLint/PMD/Detekt rules, policy-as-code gates.
Tests: unit/integration examples for authZ, serialization, and boundary conditions; sample negative tests.
Re-test: critical/high issues include an included re-test within the agreed SLA; report marks them Fix Verified and updates metrics.

Complete Code & API View

Our code review services evaluate the full stack including APIs, dependencies, and data flows to identify weak points that could expose your systems.

Attacker-Lens Review

Understand how a determined adversary chains authorization mistakes, session flaws, and API misuse to reach sensitive actions or data.

Find What Attackers Target

Identify issues scanners miss—BOLA/BFLA, logic bugs, token/cookie misuse, deserialization/SSRF, and leaked credentials—before they become incidents.

Fix Issues Pre-Production

Get actionable guidance down to the file and line, with minimal PoCs and tests to reproduce—so developers can fix with confidence.

Reduce Post-Release Risk

Cut rework and outages by validating critical/high fixes with an included re-test and marking them Fix Verified.

Frequently Asked Questions About Secure Code Review

A secure code review is the process of analyzing source code to identify vulnerabilities, poor coding practices, or design flaws that could lead to security breaches.

Ideally, reviews should be conducted during every major release cycle or after significant code changes. Regular assessments help maintain continuous security hygiene.

At Forgepath, experienced security engineers with strong development backgrounds perform each review. They understand both security and software architecture to deliver accurate results.

Forgepath supports all major languages including Java, Python, .NET, JavaScript, Go, and C++. We also review frameworks such as Spring, Django, Node.js, and Angular.

Yes. Code reviews strengthen your compliance readiness by demonstrating secure coding practices aligned with SOC 2, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 requirements.

You gain verified findings, practical remediation guidance, and confidence that your codebase is free of critical vulnerabilities before production deployment.
