Vulnerabilities have been dormant in your codebase for years
SAST matches patterns. It misses logic. Business logic errors, race conditions,
broken auth checks don't show up in a scan. And now attackers have AI to find them for you.
Code audit finds complex vulns that require advanced reasoning
Code Audit reasons over your source code, not a running app. Point it at one repo or many, including undeployed and feature-flagged code, with no staging environment or credentials to set up.
Eliminate risks that lay dormant
Mythos grade models can now surface vulnerabilities that have sat in your codebase for years. Fight fire with fire.
Catch vulns that span files and repos
Catches broken authorization, IDOR, and subscription-tier bypass by reasoning about what your code is supposed to do.
Aikido Code Audit explained in under 4 minutes

The benefits of Aikido code audit
Reasoning, not pattern matching
Discovers hard-to-find bugs like cross-tenant data leakage that aren't found using classic pattern matching.
10× cheaper than a pentest
Pentest-depth reasoning across your entire codebase, in minutes instead of hours.
Zero setup, just connect a repo
No staging environment, no traffic to replay, no agents to deploy. Point it at your source code to find vulnerabilities.
Mythos-ready defense
Defends against the kind of attacks frontier models now make trivial. Reasoning that matches what attackers can.
Find complex vulnerabilities inside your codebase
Connect a repo to discover what the reasoning agents find in your codebase.
Or run it alongside your current SAST and see what you’re what's missing.
Static engines still have their place in the SDLC

FAQs about Code Audit
Static scanners flag patterns like a tainted parameter, a risky API call, a missing check. AI Code Audit reasons about intent across your codebase to identify issues that need an attacker's perspective: IDORs, broken access control, multi-step exploit chains, and business logic flaws. It complements SAST rather than replacing it.
It reads and reasons about your source code directly. There's no crawl phase, no traffic replay, and no live exploitation — so there's no environment to point at. For live testing against a deployed target, use Aikido Pentest instead.
Supports ALL languages; no limitations whatsoever. Code Audit isn't limited to web apps. Agents reason across whatever source the connected repositories contain, including mobile apps, smart contracts, and desktop apps, across mainstream languages, configuration, and IaC. Monorepos with multiple services are fully supported.
Code Audit focuses agent attention on a coherent set of codebases. Beyond a certain number of repositories, analysis tends to lose focus and quality drops. Contact support if you genuinely need more in a single audit.
- Both products run on a similar agentic engine, but they answer different questions. Code Audit reasons about your source code. Aikido Pentest validates it on your running application.
- Use AI Code Audit when:
- You want deep code reasoning on logic and architectural flaws — IDORs, broken access control, multi-step chains — without configuring a live environment.
- You don't have a stable staging or QA target, or auth flows aren't ready for live testing.
- You need a fast turnaround with minimal setup: connect a repo, confirm credits, start.
- You want to validate changes in source before they ship to a live deployment.
- You have a difficult-to-test-live codebase, like mobile apps, desktop apps or smart contract
- Use Aikido Pentest when:
- You have a live target and want to validate real exploitability with real traffic.
- You want runtime evidence — reproduction requests, attack-surface mapping, and live agent activity.
- Your scope includes domains, authenticated user roles, and crawl-discovered endpoints beyond what's visible in source.
- You need a live penetration test to comply with SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar compliance frameworks.
Code Audit reads and reasons about your source code directly. There's no crawl phase, no traffic replay, and no live exploitation, so there's no environment to point at. If you do want live testing against a deployed target, use Aikido Pentest instead.
Code Audit is in the sidebar menu in the Attack section.
