Security that keeps up with code
Corgea surfaces high-impact issues and delivers consistently accurate fixes.
Detect and fix the undetected
Corgea detects business logic flaws that traditional scanners miss, including broken authentication, missing auth checks, and authorization gaps hidden in real application flows.
accounts_service.py
def close_account(request, account_id):
account = db.get_account(account_id)
if not request.user.is_authenticated:
raise PermissionError("Login required")
account.status = "closed"
db.save(account)
audit.log("account_closed",
actor=request.user.id, target=account_id)
Generating fix
Business logic flaw detected: missing authorization check before account closure.
-3x more true positives
-4x less false negatives
+-546% auto-fix accuracy
Prioritize what attackers can actually reach
From public routes like /login, Corgea traces real runtime paths to deep, exploitable risk.
It connects converging routes to the same weak point and maps impact to vulnerable code and vulnerable packages so teams fix the highest-risk issues first.
Developer Experience
Where agents and humans collaborate
Corgea reviews vulnerable code in pull requests, proposes safe fixes, and answers follow-up questions with implementation details.
Pull request #2487 api/auth/session.ts
Corgea Agent commented on line 112
SQL injection in buildSessionQuery(userInput). Suggested fix: parameterize the query and validate the identifier before execution.
const query = "SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE id = '" + sessionId + "';"
return db.query(query);
// Suggested fix
const query = 'SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE id = ?';
return db.query(query, [sessionId]);
