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.

Free Security Scan for Node.js Apps — Find Real Vulnerabilities | SableOffensive

Why Node.js Apps Get Hacked

Node.js backends power most modern startups, and their security comes down to how carefully you handle input, dependencies, and outbound requests. The npm dependency tree is enormous, prototype-pollution and known-CVE packages slip in constantly, and server-side fetch patterns invite SSRF. We scan the exposed surface of your Node service.

Common Node.js Vulnerabilities

Vulnerable npm dependencies

Deep dependency trees accumulate known CVEs fast. Outdated or abandoned packages are a leading cause of server compromise via supply chain.

Injection (SQL / NoSQL / command)

Unparameterized queries and shelling out with user input lead to SQL/NoSQL injection and command injection — full data or server takeover.

SSRF via server-side fetch

Fetching attacker-controlled URLs server-side can reach internal services and cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254) to steal credentials.

Prototype pollution

Merging untrusted JSON into objects without guarding __proto__ can corrupt application behavior and escalate to RCE in some libraries.

Verbose errors & missing headers

Stack traces in responses leak internal structure; missing rate limits and security headers expose the API to abuse.

What the Sable Scan Checks

Exposed secrets & API keys

We scan your client-side bundles and responses for leaked API keys, tokens, database URLs, and 100+ secret patterns that ship to the browser by accident.

Security headers & TLS

HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and TLS protocol/cipher configuration — graded A-F with copy-paste fixes.

CORS & access control

Overly permissive CORS, wildcard origins with credentials, and broken object-level authorization (IDOR/BOLA) where one user can reach another user's data.

Injection & API surface

SQL/NoSQL injection, exposed OpenAPI/Swagger specs, GraphQL introspection, mass assignment, missing rate limits, and excessive data exposure.

OWASP Top 10 coverage

Autonomous pentesting agents test against the full OWASP Top 10 2025, validate each finding with a proof-of-concept, and re-test after you fix.

Validated findings, not noise

Every reported issue is confirmed by an agent before it reaches you — so you get real, exploitable findings with severity and remediation, not scanner spam.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find vulnerable dependencies in my Node.js app?

Run npm audit and keep packages current, but audit misses runtime and exploitability context. A Sable scan tests the live, exposed surface — confirming which dependency issues are actually reachable and exploitable, not just listed.

What is SSRF and why do Node.js apps have it?

Server-Side Request Forgery is when your server fetches a URL an attacker controls, letting them reach internal services or cloud metadata to steal credentials. It is common in Node because server-side fetch/axios calls often pass user input straight through. Sable tests your fetch endpoints for it.

Is the security scan really free?

Yes. The Headers Scan runs instantly with no signup. For the full agent scan you create a free account and get 150 founder credits with no credit card required — enough to run real scans against your app on demand. Paid credit packs and monthly tiers exist for continuous testing, but you can start for free.

How does Sable scan my app?

Sable runs autonomous pentesting agents (pen-scout, pen-recon, pen-triage, pen-fixer, pen-compliance) that map your attack surface, test against the OWASP Top 10, validate every finding with a proof-of-concept, and re-test after you ship a fix. You chat with the agents on demand instead of waiting weeks for a manual engagement.

Will the scan break or slow down my production app?

No. Scans are designed to be safe and non-destructive. We demonstrate impact with proof-of-concept evidence rather than causing damage, and we never exfiltrate or alter your data.
