Lofi Tickets
Security audit and comprehensive code review for a ticket resale marketplace platform built with Laravel and Vue.
Summary
Lofi Tickets is a ticket resale marketplace designed as a lower-fee alternative to traditional resale platforms, operating as a trusted third-party broker.
Code Cobalt conducted an independent security audit and code review of the platform’s Laravel and Vue codebase to assess security posture, code quality, and launch readiness ahead of MVP release.
The Challenge
Lofi Tickets needed an objective security and quality assessment of a codebase developed by an international team prior to launching their marketplace.
With an initial launch focused on live ticket resales, the platform required confidence that core systems such as user authentication, payments, and marketplace transactions were implemented securely and aligned with accepted best practices.
The primary goals were to identify security risks, surface structural or quality issues, and validate the absence of hidden or malicious behavior within the codebase.
Our Solution
Code Cobalt performed a comprehensive audit combining automated analysis and manual review, with a focus on security, architecture, and long-term maintainability.
The assessment evaluated authentication and authorization flows, payment handling, user data management, access controls, and third-party dependencies. Overall code structure and implementation patterns were reviewed to identify risks that could lead to operational issues over time.
Findings were documented with clear explanations, risk prioritization, and actionable recommendations, providing the Lofi Tickets team with a practical roadmap for remediation ahead of launch.
Results
The audit gave Lofi Tickets confidence in the integrity of their platform and clarity on where improvements were needed prior to release.
Identified security and dependency risks were documented alongside concrete remediation guidance, while code quality recommendations addressed stability and maintainability concerns typical of early-stage platforms.
Overall, the assessment confirmed that the codebase followed expected framework conventions and contained no signs of malicious behavior. With targeted fixes and prioritization, the platform was positioned to move forward with launch on a stronger, more secure foundation.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Code Cobalt for a comprehensive code review of a new modern business application. I am thoroughly impressed with their services! The senior developer assigned to my project was exceptionally thorough, going above and beyond in every aspect of my code to ensure the app is optimized for efficiency, scalability, and security. The work delivered by Code Cobalt exceeded my expectations, and their commitment to quality was truly outstanding.
