Aikido Security released Code Audit, a new tool that uses artificial intelligence to find complex security vulnerabilities in source code. The product fills a gap between traditional static analysis tools and expensive penetration testing. According to Aikido, Code Audit traces multi-step vulnerabilities that pattern-based scanners miss — like broken access control chains across files or regular expression denial-of-service patterns. It works on static code without needing a running application, so you can audit mobile apps, smart contracts, and legacy systems that traditional testing can't easily reach. Early tests found roughly seventy to eighty percent of what a full pentest would discover, at about one tenth the cost. The company benchmarked early users finding an average of twenty-five security issues per codebase, with zero audits coming back entirely clean.
