> "Security only scales when it meets developers where they work. When it's embedded in the development workflow, it becomes a force multiplier. That's the model modern AppSec needs, and exactly why Corgea exists."

## Results

### 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.

```python
accounts_service.pyReplay

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)
```

**Business logic flaw detected: missing authorization check before account closure.**

**-3x** more true positives  
**-4x** less false negatives  
**+-555%** 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.

```javascript
Pull request #2487 api/auth/session.ts

const query = "SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE id = '" + sessionId + "'";
return db.query(query);
```

**Corgea Agent** bot commented on line 112

**Suggested fix:** parameterize the query and validate the identifier before execution.

```javascript
-112 const query = "SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE id = '" + sessionId + "'";
+112 const query = 'SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE id = ?';
return db.query(query, [sessionId]);
```

**Developer**: Why is this fix safer, and what input validation should we enforce?

**Corgea Agent** bot: Parameterized queries separate user input from SQL commands, which helps to prevent SQL injection vulnerabilities.
