You shipped it fast.
Now make sure it's safe.
AI-driven penetration testing for startups, indie hackers, and teams that move faster than their security budget. Get a full vulnerability report in minutes - not weeks.
Why builders need this
Shipping fast is great.
Shipping insecure isn't.
Most security tools are built for enterprises with 6-figure budgets. Penetrify is built for everyone else.
Broken auth flows
Vibe-coded apps ship fast - and often skip email verification, session management, or password reset flows. We catch what your framework didn't scaffold.
Exposed user data
IDOR vulnerabilities, leaky APIs, misconfigured database rules. One wrong permission and your users' data is anyone's to read. We find these before someone else does.
No-code blind spots
Bubble, Supabase, Firebase - great tools, but their defaults aren't always secure. Penetrify checks the actual attack surface, not just the config panel.
How it works
Three steps. Ten minutes.
No security team required.
The Case for AI
Why Development Teams Are Switching to Continuous AI Penetration Testing
The Annual Pen Test Is No Longer Enough
Modern software teams ship code weekly or daily. A single annual security assessment leaves up to 364 days of unscanned exposure between reviews. Every sprint introduces new API endpoints, new authentication flows, new dependencies. By the time a manual tester examines your application, the code they're testing may look nothing like what's running in production.
Every code push is a potential introduction of new vulnerabilities. The traditional model — test once, then wait — was designed for software that shipped quarterly. It is ill-suited to products that deploy dozens of times a week.
The cost of point-in-time testing:
- →New features deployed after the assessment remain unscanned until the next engagement
- →Regression vulnerabilities reintroduced by code changes go undetected for months
- →A single manual engagement costs $10,000–$50,000 and covers one point in time
- →Procurement, scoping, and scheduling add weeks before testing even begins
What Changes When Security Tests Run on Every Deploy
When security tests run on every CI/CD build, the security posture in your dashboard reflects the code running today — not the code from last quarter. Vulnerabilities are caught when they're cheapest to fix: in a pull request, before the feature ever reaches production.
Finding a vulnerability in a pull request takes an hour to fix. Finding the same vulnerability three months after deployment — after it's been in production, after customers have interacted with it — takes days and creates compliance exposure. The economics are not comparable.
What continuous testing delivers:
- →Security vulnerabilities caught in the same sprint they're introduced
- →A clear, auditable record of security posture at every deployment
- →CI/CD gates that block deployments containing critical or high-severity findings
- →Security teams freed from manual triage to focus on architecture and threat modeling
Breadth No Human Team Can Match
A human penetration tester works within a time box. Given five days to assess a 200-endpoint API, they make judgment calls about where to invest effort — and some endpoints get skipped. Penetrify tests every discovered endpoint, every parameter, and every authentication flow against the full catalog of known vulnerability classes, every time. No endpoint is de-prioritized because time ran short.
Every scan covers:
- →All OWASP Top 10 vulnerability categories — every endpoint, every time
- →Authentication, session management, and privilege escalation testing
- →IDOR and broken access control across all user roles and data objects
- →REST API and GraphQL-specific vulnerabilities including mass assignment and introspection abuse
- →SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, XXE, and injection variants across all input surfaces
- →Secret and API key exposure in responses, headers, and error messages
Under the hood
Not a toy scanner.
Real pentesting methodology.
Penetrify runs the same checks a senior security engineer would - automated, repeatable, and without the $20K invoice.
Coverage
What Penetrify tests
Penetrify runs the same checks a senior security engineer would — not just CVE lists, but active reconnaissance and chained attack logic across every layer of your application. Here is what the AI agent covers on every scan.
Authentication & Session Management
The agent tests all critical authentication flows — not just whether a login form exists, but whether it can be bypassed. It attempts email verification bypasses, token replay attacks, broken password reset flows, session fixation, and missing rate limiting on credential endpoints.
Common findings
- ▸Email verification not enforced on protected endpoints
- ▸Session tokens not rotated on privilege escalation
- ▸No account lockout after repeated failed logins — brute-force possible
- ▸JWT algorithm confusion attacks (RS256 → HS256 downgrade)
- ▸Password reset tokens without expiry or single-use enforcement
Authorization & Access Control (IDOR)
Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) are the most frequently exploited vulnerability class in modern web applications. Penetrify systematically replaces user-controlled identifiers across all endpoints and checks whether ownership is enforced consistently on every route.
Common findings
- ▸/api/users/:id accessible by any authenticated user, not just the record owner
- ▸Export or download endpoints accepting user IDs without ownership checks
- ▸Admin-only routes reachable by regular user accounts
- ▸Horizontal privilege escalation through guessable or sequential resource IDs
- ▸Database row-level security (RLS) policies missing or misconfigured
Injection & Input Validation
The engine tests for SQL injection, NoSQL injection, command injection, XPath injection, and server-side template injection across all input vectors — form fields, query parameters, HTTP headers, JSON bodies, and file uploads.
Common findings
- ▸SQL injection in search, filter, and pagination parameters
- ▸Reflected XSS through user input rendered without HTML encoding
- ▸Stored XSS in user-supplied content fields (names, bios, comments)
- ▸Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) in templating engines (Jinja2, Twig, Handlebars)
- ▸XML External Entity (XXE) injection via file upload or XML API endpoints
API Security
Modern applications are API-first. Penetrify automatically maps REST and GraphQL APIs, testing for broken object-level authorization, missing authentication on internal routes, verbose error disclosure, unsafe CORS policies, and GraphQL introspection left open in production.
Common findings
- ▸Unauthenticated API routes returning sensitive user data
- ▸Wildcard CORS (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) enabling cross-origin authenticated reads
- ▸API responses including hidden or shadow fields not shown in the UI
- ▸GraphQL introspection enabled in production, exposing the full schema to anonymous requests
- ▸Mass assignment vulnerabilities accepting undocumented fields in API request bodies
Configuration & Secret Exposure
Beyond application logic, Penetrify checks HTTP security headers, debug mode, dependency version disclosure, and whether API keys or credentials are exposed in JavaScript bundles, environment variables, or API error responses.
Common findings
- ▸Missing security headers: Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, HSTS, Referrer-Policy
- ▸Debug endpoints or verbose stack traces exposing internal file paths and framework versions
- ▸API keys and secrets embedded in client-side JavaScript bundles served to the browser
- ▸Sensitive data returned in API error responses (stack traces, DB connection strings)
- ▸Open redirect vulnerabilities on login or callback endpoints usable for phishing
How the AI engine approaches each scan
Unlike traditional scanners that fire fixed payloads at every field, Penetrify's AI agent first maps the full attack surface — discovering endpoints, understanding data flows, and identifying authentication boundaries. It then chains findings together: a leaked endpoint becomes a reconnaissance target, an unauthenticated route becomes an authorization test, a verbose error reveals an injection surface. This context-aware approach is why Penetrify maintains a false positive rate below 5%, while catching vulnerability chains that single-check scanners miss entirely.

What users say
Trusted by founders, CTOs, and security teams
“Caught a Supabase RLS misconfiguration in 9 minutes. Without this scan, every user's profile was readable by any authenticated user. Would have been a GDPR breach.”
“Found our Stripe secret key exposed in the frontend JavaScript bundle. It had been there for 4 months. Key rotated within the hour. Without Penetrify, that's the entire business gone.”
“We run it before every deploy. In 2 months it caught 3 regressions in our auth flow before they shipped. At $600/month it's the cheapest engineer on the team.”

Quick Answers
Everything you need to know
How much does AI penetration testing cost?
Penetrify starts at $50/month for the Starter plan (1 scan/month), $600/month for Professional (20 scans/month), and $2,500/month for Enterprise (100 scans/month). That is 95–99% cheaper than traditional manual penetration tests, which typically cost $15,000–$50,000 per engagement.
How long does a penetration test take?
Penetrify completes a quick scan in 15–30 minutes, a standard scan in 1–2 hours, and a deep scan in several hours for complex applications. Traditional penetration tests take 1–4 weeks to schedule, execute, and receive results.
What vulnerabilities does Penetrify detect?
Penetrify detects all OWASP Top 10 vulnerability categories: SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), CSRF, Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR), broken authentication, security misconfigurations, sensitive data exposure, and more. It also tests API security, session management, business logic flaws, and common misconfigurations in Supabase, Firebase, and Bubble.
Is Penetrify safe to run on a live production application?
Yes. Penetrify is non-destructive by design: it never modifies data, never writes to your database, and performs zero destructive actions. All testing is read-only and non-invasive. Your users will not notice anything — no downtime, no data changes, no side effects.
What is Penetrify's false positive rate?
Penetrify maintains a false positive rate below 5%. The AI engine validates each finding contextually before reporting it, so developers see only real, exploitable issues — not scanner noise. Traditional automated scanners typically report 40–60% false positives.
Does Penetrify require installation or code changes?
No installation is required. Penetrify is 100% cloud-based and agent-free. You provide your application's URL and the AI handles everything else. No code changes, no plugins, no agents to deploy — it works with any web stack including React, Next.js, Django, Rails, and no-code platforms like Bubble, Webflow, and Supabase.
