Security Review for your Amazon Q Developer-built Java app
Expert security review for Java apps built with Amazon Q Developer. We audit Amazon Q Developer-generated Java code for security review issues. From $19.
Amazon Q Developer issues we find in Java projects
Problems specific to Amazon Q Developer's code generation patterns when building Java apps.
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.
Java security review issues we check for
Security Review-specific Java problems that need attention before production.
SQL injection via string concatenation
Building SQL queries with string concatenation instead of PreparedStatement or parameterized JPA queries, allowing attackers to manipulate database operations.
Missing input validation
Controller endpoints accept request bodies without Bean Validation annotations (@Valid, @NotNull, @Size), allowing malformed data into business logic.
