Common issues we uncover in audits
Security vulnerabilities: Outdated packages with known CVEs, unsafe raw SQL queries, missing parameter binding, sensitive data in API responses.
Performance problems: N+1 queries, missing indexes, bloated controllers overloading the database.
Outdated dependencies: Unsupported Laravel, PHP, or package versions—an unnecessary security risk for security patches.
Architecture flaws: God objects, bloated Eloquent models, business logic in controllers, missing separation of concerns.
Missing tests: No test coverage for core processes, no CI pipeline, no automated quality checks—every update becomes a gamble.
XSS & Mass Assignment: Unsanitized template output with {!! $var !!}, missing $fillable attributes, no role-based access policies.
