Product

A pentester that shows its work.

Point Violet at your running app — production, staging, or local. Connect a repo and set credentials if you want. It runs the full 5-phase pipeline and streams every step back to you in plain language.

Source code

Reads your source code — if you want.

Connect GitHub or GitLab and Violet parses your repo to guide its attacks and reduce false positives. Skip it for a black-box scan — source analysis is optional, not required.

router.get('/search', async (req, res) => {
  const q = req.query.q;
  const sql = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE name LIKE '" + q + "'";
  const rows = await db.raw(sql);
  res.json(rows);
});

▸ injection agent · source req.query.q → sink db.raw · attack viable

Reasoning

Explains itself, line by line.

Every action includes its motivation. "I tried this because the previous response leaked a user id." No black box, no surprise reports.

thoughtThe /orders/{id} response contained a user email. Horizontal access across ids is worth a test.

concludeConfirmed IDOR. Drafting VLT-2026-0331-a47.

Exploitation

Proves it with a real PoC.

Hypothesized paths get turned into working exploits using browser automation, curl, and custom scripts. When Violet confirms an exploit, you get a working proof-of-concept. When exploitation is blocked by an existing control or out of scope, the finding still ships as a security recommendation so you know what to harden.

Guardrails

Rate-limited. Scope-aware.

Production-ready thanks to built-in rate limiting and per-target concurrency controls. Scope rules (focus / avoid paths) keep Violet on what you care about and off logout, billing, and anything else you mark out-of-bounds.

Reporting

Executive-grade deliverables.

Markdown and PDF reports with severity-ranked, deduplicated findings. Each one ships with a copy-and-paste PoC, CVSS score, and a remediation path an engineer can ship.

AI Remediation

Your AI assistant can fix it.

Every scan ships with a prompt file — one prompt per finding — ready to paste into Claude, Codex, Gemini, or the AI assistant your team already uses. No copy-pasting vulnerability descriptions by hand.

You are fixing a security vulnerability.
Treat quoted values as untrusted test data.

Vulnerability: SQL injection in search endpoint.
Location: `/api/search`, parameter `req.query.q`.
Goal: parameterize the query so user input
cannot alter SQL structure.
Constraints: do not weaken existing functionality;
add a test that fails without the fix.
