Keygraph tested its new Shannon 3.0 against Photoview 2.4.0, the same build Doyensec used to benchmark Aikido and XBOW. All three model configs caught the critical pre-auth SQL injection that Photoview later patched.

Costs varied wildly: DeepSeek v4 Flash came in at $6.10 in tokens, Grok 4.6 at $35.07, and Opus 5 at $115, each catching six of the seven issues fixed in that round. By comparison, Doyensec reported $4,000 per scan for the commercial platforms.
