What is Agent-as-a-Service pentesting?

Agent-as-a-Service (AaaS) pentesting lets you chat with autonomous pentesting agents that scan your application on demand. Instead of waiting weeks for a manual engagement, you talk to specialized agents — pen-scout (recon and surface mapping), pen-recon (deeper enumeration), pen-triage (validates and prioritizes findings), pen-fixer (remediation guidance), and pen-compliance (OWASP/standards mapping). Findings are validated with proof-of-concept and re-test, not just flagged. You start with 150 free credits, no credit card.

What are credits and how do they work?

Credits are how you run agent scans. Each scan or agent action consumes credits based on its depth. New accounts get 150 free credits with no card required. After that you can buy one-time credit packs ($29, $79, or $199) for pay-as-you-go use, or subscribe to a monthly tier ($49, $149, or $399/mo) for continuous, on-demand pentesting. The agents pen-scout, pen-recon, pen-triage, pen-fixer and pen-compliance all draw from the same credit balance.

Yes. Every new account gets 150 free credits with no credit card required — enough to chat with the pentesting agents and run real scans against your app. There is also a free security headers scan at sable.somoswilab.com/free-scan and a sample report at sable.somoswilab.com/sample-report. The free tier runs on OpenRouter models so you can evaluate the autonomous agents before paying.

What is penetration testing for startups?

Penetration testing (pentesting) is a simulated cyberattack against your application to find security vulnerabilities before real attackers do. For startups, we focus on the issues that matter most at your stage: authentication flaws, data exposure, API security, and common mistakes in modern stacks like Next.js, Supabase, and Firebase.

How much does a pentest cost?

Traditional pentests cost $10,000-$50,000+. SableOffensive starts at $29 for a Pre-Launch Check covering OWASP Top 10 and secrets detection. Founder Shield ($79) adds IDOR testing, auth bypass, and a debrief call. Scale Secure ($199) is a full-scope assessment. Every plan includes a professional report with remediation steps.

How long does a security scan take?

Pre-Launch Check reports are delivered within 24-48 hours. Founder Shield and Scale Secure may take 2-3 business days depending on the complexity of your application.

What do I need to provide?

At minimum, just your application URL. For more comprehensive testing, we may ask for staging credentials, API documentation, or GitHub repository access. We sign NDAs for all engagements.

What is OWASP Top 10?

OWASP Top 10 is the industry standard list of the most critical web application security risks. It includes injection attacks, broken authentication, cross-site scripting (XSS), server-side request forgery (SSRF), and security misconfigurations. Every SableOffensive assessment tests against the full OWASP Top 10.

Do you test AI-generated code?

Yes. Code generated by AI tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and v0 often contains subtle security issues: hardcoded secrets, missing input validation, insecure API patterns, and overly permissive access controls. We have specific testing procedures for AI-generated codebases.

How do you secure Supabase and Firebase apps?

For Supabase, we audit Row Level Security (RLS) policies, test for direct table access, and check for exposed service keys. For Firebase, we review security rules, test Firestore/RTDB access patterns, and check Cloud Functions for vulnerabilities.

What if you find zero vulnerabilities?

50% money back guarantee. If our scan finds zero security issues, you get half your money back.

Is there a free pentesting option?

Yes. SableOffensive offers a free security headers scan at sable.somoswilab.com/free-scan. It instantly checks your website for 8 critical security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, and more) and gives you an A-F grade with copy-paste fixes. No signup or payment required.

Can I get a free vulnerability scan?

Our free security headers check scans your website instantly and grades your security posture. For a deeper free assessment, contact us — we occasionally offer complimentary scans for early-stage startups and open source projects.

Critical XSS Flaw in Zimbra Classic Web Client Enables Arbitrary Code Execution

What Happened

Zimbra announced a critical stored cross‑site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in its Classic Web Client that allows specially crafted emails to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a user’s browser. The flaw can expose mailbox contents, session data, and account settings if an email is opened. The issue has not yet been assigned a CVE identifier, but Zimbra confirmed that the vulnerability enables arbitrary code execution The Hacker News.

Technical Analysis

The XSS flaw resides in the Classic Web Client’s handling of email bodies. When an email contains malicious script tags, the client fails to properly sanitize or escape the input, storing the payload in the server‑side database. Upon retrieval, the script runs in the context of the logged‑in user’s session, granting access to cookies and session tokens. The vulnerability was discovered by Google’s Threat Analysis Group and reported to Zimbra, which subsequently released version 10.1.19 to remediate the issue BleepingComputer and SC Media.

Who’s Affected

The flaw impacts all deployments of Zimbra Collaboration Suite that still use the Classic Web Client, which is common in large enterprises and government agencies due to its lower resource consumption. Zimbra estimates millions of installations worldwide, with a significant portion of the user base relying on the Classic UI for email access. Because the vulnerability is stored, any organization that receives a malicious email can become compromised without user interaction beyond opening the message.

How to Protect Yourself

Immediately upgrade to Zimbra Collaboration Suite version 10.1.19, which includes the XSS fix.
If you cannot upgrade immediately, disable the Classic Web Client and force users to the modern UI to mitigate the attack surface.
Apply strict email filtering to block suspicious attachments and HTML content containing script tags.
Enforce multi‑factor authentication (MFA) for all mailbox logins to limit the impact of stolen session tokens.
Monitor server logs for unusual JavaScript execution patterns or unexpected outbound requests from the web client.

The Sable Angle

At Sable we routinely audit email collaboration platforms for hidden attack vectors. Our research team has built automated detection scripts that surface stored XSS payloads across large mailboxes, helping clients pre‑emptively identify vulnerable messages before they reach end users.
