Security Code Review
Security Code Review, part of VA/PT, scrutinizes source code for vulnerabilities, enhancing security by identifying and mitigating threats at the code level.
Code Analysis:
Security Code Review involves analyzing the source code of an application or software to identify security vulnerabilities and weaknesses.
Manual and Automated Review:
It combines both manual inspection by security experts and automated tools to comprehensively assess the codebase.
Identification of Vulnerabilities:
The primary goal is to identify common security vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, authentication issues, insecure data storage, and access control issues.
Compliance and Best Practices:
Security Code Review ensures compliance with security standards, guidelines, and best practices such as OWASP Top 10, SANS/CWE Top 25, and secure coding standards.
Static Analysis:
Static code analysis tools are used to analyze source code without executing it, identifying potential security vulnerabilities, coding errors, and design flaws.
Dynamic Analysis:
Dynamic code analysis tools execute the code in a simulated runtime environment to identify security vulnerabilities related to runtime behavior, such as input validation and output encoding.
Data Flow Analysis:
It examines the flow of sensitive data within the application, identifying potential points of data leakage, manipulation, or unauthorized access.
Third-party Library and Framework Review:
Security Code Review includes a review of third-party libraries and frameworks used in the application to ensure they are up-to-date and free from known vulnerabilities.
Scalability and Performance Impact:
It assesses the scalability and performance impact of security controls and mitigations implemented in the codebase to ensure they do not degrade application performance.
Remediation Recommendations:
Security Code Review provides actionable recommendations and guidance for remediation, including code fixes, configuration changes, and architectural improvements.
Documentation and Reporting:
Detailed reports are generated documenting findings, analysis, and recommendations for remediation, enabling developers to prioritize and address security vulnerabilities effectively.
Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) Integration:
Security Code Review can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines to automate security checks and ensure that code changes are consistently reviewed for security vulnerabilities throughout the development lifecycle.
