What the FAQ
Do I have to share my source code?
Yes, we require access to the source code as our audits are not black box based. Having access to the source code allows us to find deeper and more complex vulnerabilities. The source code can be provided to us through email, through an invitation to your repository, a secure transfer link or your own preferred method of transferring files.
What if there are no vulnerabilities found?
It is possible that we are not able to find any vulnerabilities if the source code follows all the code conventions and standards. Keep in mind that the audit is manual labor and is based on a certain amount of hours spent, not based on the number of vulnerabilities we may or may not find.
Will you fix the vulnerabilities for me?
Although we do not fix vulnerabilities for you, we do provide information on how to patch the vulnerabilities that we have identified and will also assist with the patching process if needed.
How much does an audit cost?
As each software is vastly different when it comes to the structure, code complexity, lines of code and number of files, each audit will have a different cost attached to it. Reach out to us for an estimate for an audit of your software.
Will Patchstack publicly disclose newly found vulnerabilities?
Patchstack will only disclose that information for publicly available software and after the vulnerabilities have been successfully resolved.
Can I request an audit for software that is not mine?
Patchstack will only audit software that belongs to or has been created solely for the request author. Still unsure? Just ask us.

In Q4 2024, The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introduced obligatory software support and vulnerability disclosure guidelines for all commercial software with users in the European Union.
Patchstack solves this by acting as an expert intermediary and streamlines vulnerability disclosure for plugin and theme developers.
