Application Security Assessment Services

Find critical issues before release

Expert App & API Pentesting That Keeps Releases On Track

Automated scanners miss context—who can do what, to which object, and under what conditions. Forgepath testers combine structured methodology with real-world attack craft to validate what’s actually exploitable in your applications and services. We focus on authN/authZ, session lifecycle, API object access, workflow abuse, input and serialization boundaries, and misconfigurations across the stack.

Our approach blends targeted automation (DAST/SAST/IAST where available, API discovery and fuzzing, secrets and config checks) with deep manual testing to reduce false positives and demonstrate impact. You’ll receive clear, reproducible findings mapped to business risk, with fix patterns that match your framework and infrastructure. Critical/high items include an included re-test; once validated we mark them Fix Verified and update your summary metrics.

Test like an attacker

Strengthen Your Application Security

We exercise the flows that matter to your business, chain issues to real impact in a safe way, and leave guardrails that keep defects from returning—without derailing your release schedule.

Automation gives coverage; experts give signal.

Inputs: DAST behaviors, IAST/SAST code paths (when available), API schema capture, auth flow recording, secrets/config discovery.
Triage: Correlate results, remove duplicates, and prioritize high-impact paths (funds/PII actions, approvals, admin features).
Validation: Manual probing and PoCs for SSRF, deserialization, injection classes, CSP/CORS/cookie issues, and session weaknesses.
Outcome: Noise drops; verified issues are documented with requests/responses, token state, affected roles, and exploit impact.

We test the real attack surface—not just pages a crawler can see.

AuthN/AuthZ & Sessions: MFA, rotation/invalidation, privilege escalation, BOLA/BFLA for REST/GraphQL/gRPC.
Business Logic & Workflows: step skipping, replay/race conditions, mass assignment, rate limiting, abuse of approvals.
Data & Input: serialization boundaries, file upload, template/command injection, sensitive data exposure.
Config & Integrations: CSP/CORS, cookie flags, TLS, storage policies, OAuth/OIDC flows, token scopes, third-party webhooks.
Secrets & Supply Chain: hard-coded keys, repo/pipeline leaks, risky dependencies and provenance.

We don’t stop at “potential.” We show how risk turns into impact.

Chaining: from “low” misconfig + weak authZ to real data access or function misuse.
Evidence: replayable PoCs for lower environments, request/response captures, and state transitions.
Impact Mapping: tied to business actions (transfer, approve, disclose) with likelihood and blast radius.

Outcomes that stick—engineer-friendly and verifiable.

Fixes: framework-specific patches and patterns (middleware, filters, policy rules) with before/after examples.
Guardrails: PR checklists, lint/policy gates, negative test samples, and monitoring hints for new detections.
Re-test: critical/high findings re-tested within the agreed SLA and marked Fix Verified.
