Salesforce Code Security Analysis

Deep analysis of Apex, Lightning components, and Visualforce code. We identify security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and best practice violations using proprietary and industry-standard tools.

What is Code Security Analysis?

Code security analysis is a comprehensive review of your Salesforce custom code to identify security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and best practice violations. Our analysis covers Apex classes, triggers, Lightning components, Visualforce pages, and Flow automations.

We combine static code analysis (SAST) with expert manual code review to identify both common vulnerabilities and complex security issues that automated tools may miss. Our analysis helps you maintain secure, performant, and maintainable code that follows Salesforce security best practices.

What We Analyze

Apex Code Security

  • SOQL/SOSL injection vulnerabilities
  • CRUD/FLS (Create, Read, Update, Delete / Field-Level Security) violations
  • Sharing rule bypasses
  • Insecure deserialization
  • Authentication and authorization flaws
  • Mass assignment vulnerabilities
  • Insecure cryptographic implementations
  • Hardcoded credentials and secrets
  • Error handling and information disclosure
  • Governor limit violations

Lightning Component Security

  • Lightning Locker compatibility issues
  • ES5 enforcement compliance
  • Component security boundaries
  • JavaScript security vulnerabilities
  • DOM-based XSS
  • Insecure event handling
  • Client-side validation bypasses
  • Content Security Policy (CSP) violations

Visualforce Security

  • Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
  • Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection
  • Insecure direct object references
  • View state security
  • Remote object security
  • JavaScript injection

Flow & Process Builder Security

  • Insecure flow patterns
  • CRUD/FLS violations in flows
  • Sharing rule bypasses
  • Insecure variable handling
  • External service callout security

Our Analysis Methodology

Automated Static Analysis

We run proprietary SFCA scanners and industry-standard SAST tools to identify common security vulnerabilities, code smells, and best practice violations across your codebase.

Manual Code Review

Our security experts perform manual code review to identify complex vulnerabilities, business logic flaws, and architectural security issues that automated tools cannot detect.

Dependency Analysis

We analyze third-party libraries, JavaScript dependencies, and managed packages for known vulnerabilities and security risks.

Architecture Review

We assess your code architecture for security design patterns, separation of concerns, and potential security weaknesses in the overall system design.

False Positive Reduction

We carefully review all findings, eliminate false positives, and provide context for each vulnerability including exploitability and business impact.

Prioritized Reporting

We deliver comprehensive reports with risk ratings, code examples, and prioritized remediation guidance based on CVSS scores and business impact.

Common Security Vulnerabilities We Find

Critical

SOQL Injection

Unvalidated user input directly concatenated into SOQL queries, allowing attackers to manipulate database queries.

Critical

CRUD/FLS Violations

Code that accesses objects or fields without checking user permissions, potentially exposing sensitive data.

High

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Unvalidated user input rendered in Visualforce pages or Lightning components, allowing script injection.

High

Authentication Bypass

Weak authentication checks or missing authorization controls allowing unauthorized access.

Medium

Insecure Deserialization

Deserializing untrusted data without proper validation, potentially leading to remote code execution.

Medium

Hardcoded Secrets

API keys, passwords, or other sensitive credentials hardcoded in source code.

Our Analysis Tools

SFCA-PMD

Static code analysis for Apex detecting security vulnerabilities, code smells, and best practice violations. Identifies SOQL injection, CRUD/FLS issues, and security anti-patterns.

SFCA-DFA

Deep function analysis of Apex and Lightning components for complex security issues including data flow analysis and taint tracking.

SFCA-RetireJS

Identifies outdated JavaScript libraries with known CVEs in Lightning components and Visualforce pages.

FlowShield

Our proprietary in-house tool that identifies security vulnerabilities and insecure patterns in Salesforce Flows, Process Builder automations, and Flow Builder components. FlowShield performs deep analysis of flow logic, variable handling, and data access patterns to detect CRUD/FLS violations, sharing rule bypasses, and other security issues specific to declarative automation.

Manual Code Review

Expert security professionals perform manual code review to identify complex vulnerabilities and business logic flaws.

Dependency Scanning

Analysis of third-party packages, JavaScript libraries, and external dependencies for known vulnerabilities.

Deliverables

Security Analysis Report

Comprehensive report detailing all identified vulnerabilities with code locations, risk ratings, and exploitability assessments.

Code Examples & Fixes

Before/after code examples showing vulnerable code and secure implementations for each finding.

Remediation Roadmap

Prioritized action plan with remediation steps, best practices, and security pattern recommendations.

Architecture Recommendations

Security architecture improvements and design pattern recommendations to prevent future vulnerabilities.

Retesting & Verification

Re-analysis after remediation to verify fixes and ensure no new vulnerabilities were introduced.

Benefits of Code Security Analysis

  • Early Detection: Identify security vulnerabilities before they reach production, reducing remediation costs.
  • Compliance: Ensure your code meets Salesforce security best practices and industry standards.
  • Code Quality: Improve overall code quality, maintainability, and performance alongside security.
  • Developer Education: Learn secure coding practices through detailed explanations and code examples.
  • Risk Reduction: Proactively address security risks before they can be exploited.
  • AppExchange Readiness: Ensure your code meets AppExchange Security Review requirements.
