Code Audits & Reviews

Exploitable Security Vulnerabilities, Weaknesses & Bugs

Code Analysis

As part of a code audit or source code analysis (code review), our security team manually examines the source code of software, applications, protocols, or firmware at the program level. The goal is to identify and thoroughly assess vulnerabilities, security flaws, backdoors, design errors, and security-related weaknesses at an early stage. Evolution Security GmbH relies on an experienced team of security analysts, penetration testers, and developers of security technologies. By combining practical attack experience with technical development expertise, we achieve precise and reliable results.

Our code audit services include a thorough manual source code review to identify security vulnerabilities and logic errors. We not only examine insecure coding patterns and architectural issues but also analyze complex dependencies such as libraries, modules, APIs, and services. Additionally, we conduct a detailed investigation for known vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, access control issues, and memory leaks. Another focus is on the evaluation of cryptographic implementations and authentication mechanisms. Our audits are conducted prior to production deployment, releases, and certification processes, and we choose between white-box and black-box methodologies as needed.

Project design and pricing are transparent and tailored to each client’s needs, with costs based on the programming language used, the technology stack, the scope of the project, the architecture, and the level of complexity. The timeline, defined deadlines, and any special requirements or compliance standards are also factored into the pricing.

Our Code Audit Services

  • Manual source code review for security vulnerabilities and logic errors
  • Identification of insecure coding patterns and architectural issues
  • Analysis of complex dependencies (libraries, modules, APIs, services)
  • Checking for known vulnerability classes (e.g., injection, access control errors, memory issues)
  • Evaluation of cryptographic implementations and authentication mechanisms
  • Review prior to production deployment, release, or certification processes
  • Conducted using white-box or black-box methodologies

Project Design & Pricing Structure

Project pricing is transparent and based on:

  • Programming language & technology stack used
  • Scope (files, modules, libraries, services, directories)
  • Architecture, complexity & design
  • Project duration and defined deadlines
  • Selected testing methodology (white-box / black-box)
  • Specific requirements, compliance guidelines, or special requests

Programming Languages & Technologies

Traditional Programming Languages: C, C++, C#, Java, Python, Ruby, Perl System & Scripting Languages: Active Perl, Active Python, Active Ruby Web Technologies: HTML/HTML5, PHP, ASP, Angular, JavaScript, VBS, CFML, Flash We evaluate other technologies on a project-by-project and case-by-case basis.

Quality & Secure Development

In addition, we contribute to the continuous improvement of code quality and support you in your secure development processes. This provides a solid basis for decision-making for management and development teams to ensure security and quality.

Our services cover a wide range of application areas, from custom software and enterprise applications to web applications and online services, as well as operating system components and security-critical protocols. Products in the development process, such as libraries and frameworks, are also reviewed as part of the secure development lifecycle. Through our audits, you benefit from the early detection of critical security risks, which reduces liability and reputational risks.

We support a wide range of programming languages, including C, C++, Java, Python, Ruby, Perl, and Delphi, as well as web technologies such as HTML, PHP, Angular, and JavaScript. Additional technologies are evaluated on a case-by-case basis depending on project requirements. Whether it’s a development project or a production system—we support you in conducting a comprehensive security assessment of your code and help minimize risks in the long term.
