Adding GitHub OAuth to your Amazon Q Developer app? Let us review it.
Expert review for GitHub OAuth integrations built with Amazon Q Developer. We fix Amazon Q Developer-generated GitHub OAuth code for security, error handling & production readiness. From $19.
Common Amazon Q Developer issues affecting integrations
Overly permissive IAM policies generated with wildcard actions and resources
Amazon Q often generates IAM policies with `*` wildcards for actions or resources as a starting point, which violates the principle of least privilege. These policies should be scoped to specific actions and resource ARNs before being applied in production.
Lambda cold start latency not addressed in generated function configurations
Generated Lambda functions use default memory and timeout settings without considering cold start impact. Functions with heavy initialization code (loading models, establishing DB connections) need provisioned concurrency or memory tuning, which Amazon Q does not configure.
Generated CDK code creates AWS resources without cost estimation or tagging
Amazon Q CDK suggestions deploy resources without cost-tracking tags or budget guardrails, making it easy to inadvertently provision expensive resources (NAT gateways, multi-AZ RDS instances) without visibility into the cost impact.
GitHub OAuth issues we find in Amazon Q Developer apps
Confusing OAuth Apps with GitHub Apps
AI-generated code mixes authentication patterns from OAuth Apps and GitHub Apps, which have different scopes, token formats, and installation flows.
State parameter not validated in callback
Generated code doesn't verify the state parameter returned in the OAuth callback, enabling CSRF attacks that could link arbitrary GitHub accounts to users.
Client secret exposed in frontend code
AI tools include the GitHub OAuth client secret in client-side code or frontend environment variables, allowing anyone to impersonate your application.
