Security Review for your Amazon Q Developer-built SQL app
Expert security review for SQL apps built with Amazon Q Developer. We audit Amazon Q Developer-generated SQL code for security review issues. From $19.
Amazon Q Developer issues we find in SQL projects
Problems specific to Amazon Q Developer's code generation patterns when building SQL 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.
SQL security review issues we check for
Security Review-specific SQL problems that need attention before production.
SQL injection from string concatenation
Building queries by concatenating user input directly into SQL strings instead of using parameterized queries, enabling full database compromise.
Overprivileged database users
Application connects with a database user that has DROP, GRANT, or superuser privileges instead of least-privilege access.
