Salesforce Vulnerability Assessments

Thorough security assessments using automated tools and manual analysis. We identify security misconfigurations, code vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps in your Salesforce implementation.

What is a Salesforce Vulnerability Assessment?

A Salesforce vulnerability assessment is a systematic evaluation of your Salesforce org's security posture. Unlike penetration testing which focuses on exploitation, vulnerability assessments identify and catalog security weaknesses, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps without attempting to exploit them.

Our assessments combine automated security scanning tools with expert manual analysis to provide a comprehensive view of your security posture. We use proprietary Salesforce security scanners (SFCA-PMD, SFCA-Appexchange, SFCA-RetireJS, SFCA-DFA) along with industry-standard tools to identify vulnerabilities across your entire Salesforce implementation.

Assessment Scope

Automated Security Scanning

  • Static Application Security Testing (SAST) for Apex, Visualforce, and Lightning
  • Dependency scanning for vulnerable JavaScript libraries
  • Metadata analysis for security misconfigurations
  • Package security analysis
  • Configuration drift detection

Manual Code Review

  • Custom Apex class security analysis
  • Lightning component security review
  • Visualforce page security assessment
  • Business logic vulnerability identification
  • Architecture security review

Configuration Analysis

  • Org-wide security settings review
  • Profile and permission set analysis
  • Sharing rules and OWD evaluation
  • Field-level security assessment
  • Login and session security review

Integration Security

  • API security assessment
  • Connected app configuration review
  • OAuth and SAML implementation analysis
  • External service integration security
  • Webhook security evaluation

Vulnerability Categories We Identify

Critical Vulnerabilities

  • SOQL/SOSL Injection
  • Authentication bypasses
  • Privilege escalation
  • Remote code execution
  • Mass assignment vulnerabilities

High-Risk Vulnerabilities

  • Cross-site scripting (XSS)
  • Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
  • CRUD/FLS violations
  • Insecure direct object references
  • Sensitive data exposure

Medium-Risk Vulnerabilities

  • Security misconfigurations
  • Insufficient logging and monitoring
  • Weak cryptographic implementations
  • Information disclosure
  • Lightning Locker compatibility issues

Low-Risk & Informational

  • Best practice violations
  • Code quality issues
  • Performance concerns
  • Documentation gaps
  • Compliance recommendations

Our Assessment Tools

SFCA-PMD

Static code analysis for Apex to detect security vulnerabilities, code smells, and best practice violations.

SFCA-Appexchange

Validates package metadata, security settings, and AppExchange readiness requirements.

SFCA-RetireJS

Identifies outdated JavaScript libraries with known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs).

SFCA-DFA

Deep function analysis of Apex and Lightning components for complex security issues.

SFCA-General

Configuration and permission analysis for org-wide security settings.

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.

Assessment Process

Planning & Scoping

We work with you to define the assessment scope, identify critical assets, and establish testing parameters. This includes understanding your business processes, compliance requirements, and security objectives.

Automated Scanning

We run comprehensive automated scans using our proprietary and industry-standard tools. This provides baseline vulnerability identification across your codebase and configuration.

Manual Analysis

Our security experts perform manual code review and configuration analysis to identify complex vulnerabilities that automated tools miss, including business logic flaws.

False Positive Reduction

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

Reporting & Prioritization

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

Remediation Support

We provide ongoing support during remediation, including code review of fixes, retesting, and verification that vulnerabilities have been properly addressed.

Deliverables

  • Executive summary with risk overview and business impact
  • Detailed technical report with vulnerability descriptions
  • CVSS-based risk scoring for each finding
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap
  • Code examples and configuration fixes
  • Compliance gap analysis
  • Retesting and verification report

Benefits of Our Vulnerability Assessments

Comprehensive Coverage

We assess your entire Salesforce implementation, from custom code to platform configuration, ensuring nothing is overlooked.

Reduced False Positives

Our expert analysis eliminates false positives, saving you time and ensuring you focus on real security issues.

Actionable Results

Every finding includes clear remediation steps, code examples, and best practice recommendations.

Compliance Alignment

Our assessments align with OWASP Top 10, CWE, Salesforce security best practices, and industry compliance requirements.
