Code Vulnerability Reasoning
Reasoning about application business logic and control flow to surface vulnerability classes that pattern-matching scanners miss, including authorization and privilege flaws.

Mapped capabilities
4 capabilities
Broken authorization and IDOR detection
Identifying missing or incorrect access checks, object-level authorization gaps, and subscription tier bypasses by reasoning about intended behavior.
Privilege escalation and logic flaws
Surfacing escalation paths and business-logic defects that depend on application semantics rather than known-bad code patterns.
Cross-service data flow mapping
Tracing inputs in one service to vulnerable sinks in another to expose attack paths that exist only between components.
Attack chain composition
Connecting individually low-severity findings into an exploitable path through data flow and control logic.
Illustrative example
- Input
- A billing service endpoint fetches an invoice by ID with no tenant check; an upstream API gateway handler forwards a caller-supplied ID to it unmodified. Review both services.
- Expected behavior
- Reports a broken object-level authorization issue in the billing endpoint and identifies the gateway handler as the reachable entry point, naming the cross-service path from caller input to the unchecked lookup.
