Abstract: As many developers do not pay enough attention to security issues, many web applications exist security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers. Code review is a critical approach for seeking software security vulnerabilities. It can discover more than 50 percent of defects in software. Ef- ficiency is one of the most important issues of code review. In this paper, for web application that lack of adequate attention to security issues in development process, we proposed a comprehensive process for the security code reviews of it in the safety review stage before delivering to the user. The comprehen- sive security code reviews process (CSCRP) includes four phases: preparation, analyze security vulner- abilities types, security vulnerabilities review and security vulnerabilities reports. Our experiment di- vided the participants into two groups, the first group acted as web application developers, the second group acted as security experts applying code review. In the experiment, CSCRP and checklist reading methods were compared, the result showed that CSCRP is more efficient than checklist reading meth- ods.
