Orange Sage
Orange Sage is an AI-powered cybersecurity assessment platform that autonomously performs security testing using agentic AI architecture. It provides a modern, web-based interface for managing assessments, analyzing vulnerabilities, and generating comprehensive reports.
Project Overview
Orange Sage automates web application security testing with a system of coordinated AI agents that mimic penetration testing workflows. It helps teams identify vulnerabilities, analyze attack surfaces, and generate detailed reports — all from a single unified dashboard.
Built with FastAPI, React, and TypeScript, it features a modular full-stack architecture that integrates PostgreSQL, Redis, and MinIO for data persistence, caching, and artifact storage. The platform is containerized with Docker for seamless deployment and scalability.
Technologies Used
- FastAPI - High-performance backend framework
- React 18 + TypeScript - Modern, type-safe frontend development
- Vite - Lightning-fast frontend build tool
- PostgreSQL - Primary relational database
- Redis + Celery - Task queue and async job management
- MinIO/S3 - Object storage for reports and artifacts
- LiteLLM - Unified interface for OpenAI and Gemini LLMs
- Docker Compose - Multi-service orchestration

- Findings Management - Track, triage, and prioritize vulnerabilities
- Comprehensive Reporting - Export results as PDF, DOCX, or HTML
- Role-Based Access Control - Admin, Developer, and Auditor roles
- Project & Target Management - Organize assessments by project or target
- Dynamic AI Coordination - Specialized agents for reconnaissance, scanning, and analysis
- Cloud-Ready Deployment - Fully containerized with Docker and environment-based configuration
Technical Architecture
The Orange Sage architecture follows a modular, service-oriented approach designed for scalability and maintainability.
Frontend Stack
- React 18 with TypeScript for modular component-based development
- Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui for modern, responsive UI
- Vite for fast local development and builds
- React Query for data fetching and caching
- React Router for seamless navigation
Backend & Infrastructure
- FastAPI with Uvicorn for high-performance RESTful APIs
- PostgreSQL database with SQLAlchemy ORM
- Celery with Redis for distributed task management
- MinIO/S3 for secure file and report storage
- JWT authentication for sessionless security
- Docker Compose to manage PostgreSQL, Redis, and MinIO services
AI Integration
- LiteLLM for unified LLM API management (OpenAI + Gemini)
- AI-driven vulnerability classification and pattern recognition
- Intelligent orchestration of multi-agent workflows for adaptive scanning
AI Agent System
Orange Sage uses a multi-agent architecture where each agent specializes in a specific phase of cybersecurity assessment:
1. Reconnaissance Agent
- Performs domain and subdomain enumeration
- Gathers metadata and identifies potential entry points
2. Vulnerability Scanner Agent
- Uses AI-assisted scanning to detect OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
- Adapts testing based on target responses in real time
3. Exploit Analysis Agent
- Simulates exploitation attempts safely in isolated environments
- Classifies vulnerabilities by severity and impact
4. Report Generator Agent
- Converts findings into structured, exportable reports (PDF, DOCX, HTML)
- Summarizes results with severity breakdowns and remediation tips
5. Orchestrator Agent
- Coordinates agent workflows for optimal efficiency
- Dynamically adjusts scanning strategy based on ongoing results
Technical Challenges Solved
Distributed Task Management
Implemented Celery + Redis to handle asynchronous scanning jobs, allowing multiple AI agents to work in parallel without blocking the main API process.
Persistent Object Storage
Integrated MinIO for artifact and report storage, providing S3-compatible access and easy scalability across environments.
LLM Orchestration
Used LiteLLM to standardize access to multiple large language models, enabling dynamic switching between OpenAI and Gemini for analysis tasks.
Seamless Local Setup
Developed a unified startup script (start.py) that initializes PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO, backend, and frontend services with a single command.
Security & Performance
Orange Sage follows modern security and performance best practices:
- JWT Authentication with secure token management
- Role-Based Access Control (Admin, Developer, Auditor)
- CORS & Input Validation using FastAPI and Pydantic schemas
- SQL Injection Protection through ORM-based queries
- Containerized Isolation for all services
- Optimized Frontend Performance (Core Web Vitals compliant)
Business Impact
Orange Sage transforms how security teams operate by automating repetitive testing workflows and reducing manual effort.
