Aikido Code Audit: AI-powered tool finds logic-based vulnerabilities in source code

By

Summary

Aikido introduces Code Audit, a tool that bridges the gap between SAST (Static Application Security Testing) and pentesting by reasoning through static codebases to identify multi-step, logic-based vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional SAST tools that only catch predictable patterns, Code Audit simulates an attacker's reasoning to find complex, intent-dependent flaws that typically require human effort to discover. The tool aims to collapse the time and skill needed to find and chain vulnerabilities across applications, helping defenders stay ahead of threats.

Aikido Code Audit fills the gap between SAST and pentesting by reasoning through your static codebases to surface multi-step, intent-dependent vulnerabilities before they ship.
The direction is set. The skill and time it took to find and chain flaws across a application is collapsing into something an agent does without hours or days of human effort.
These classes of flaws don't follow predictable patterns, so static analysis has nothing to match against.
But defenders can stay ahead using...
Snippet from the RSS feed
SAST catches patterns. Code Audit reasons through your code like an attacker would, finding the logic flaws that only show up after you ship.
