An Overview of Secure Source Code Review
A secure code review is a specific process that involves manually and/or automatically inspecting the source code of a request to find flaws in the design, determine weak cryptography, cross-site scripting problems, and injection flaws, find backdoors, unsafe coding techniques etc. The objective of secure code review is to increase the code’s security and discover any faults before they may affect any harm. Insecure code that could possibly effect in a vulnerability at a later phase of the software development procedure and eventually result in an insecure submission is found over a process called secure code review.

Frequently Asked questions
1. How does Secure Source Code Review differ from penetration testing?
Secure Source Code Review analyses the internal code structure for vulnerabilities, while penetration testing focuses on identifying vulnerabilities from an external attacker’s perspective.
2. Can Secure Source Code Review be automated?
Yes, while automated tools can quickly detect common issues, a manual review is crucial for identifying complex or contextual vulnerabilities that tools may miss.
3. Who should perform a Secure Source Code Review?
It should be conducted by security experts or specialized developers trained in secure coding practices and familiar with the application’s programming language.
4. How long does a Secure Source Code Review take?
The duration depends on the application’s complexity and size but typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks for thorough analysis.
