Using Amazon Q Developer for GitHub

Amazon Q Developer1 is an AI-powered assistant that integrates directly into your GitHub workflow, enhancing your development process with intelligent features for code development, review, and transformation.

Slash Commands

Command Description
/q <message> Chat with the agent to ask questions or request revisions
/q review Requests an Amazon Q powered code review
/q help Displays usage information

Features

Agentic Chat
Enables interactive conversation with Amazon Q to ask questions about the pull request or request specific revisions. Use /q <message> in comment threads or the review body to engage with the agent directly.

Code Review
Analyzes pull requests for code quality, potential issues, and security concerns. Provides feedback and suggested fixes. Automatically triggered on new or reopened PRs (can be disabled for AWS registered installations), or manually with /q review slash command in a comment.

Customization

You can create project-specific rules for Amazon Q Developer to follow:

  1. Create a .amazonq/rules folder in your project root.
  2. Add Markdown files in this folder to define rules (e.g., cdk-rules.md).
  3. Write detailed prompts in these files, such as coding standards or best practices.
  4. Amazon Q Developer will automatically use these rules when generating code or providing assistance.

Example rule:

All Amazon S3 buckets must have encryption enabled, enforce SSL, and block public access.
All Amazon DynamoDB Streams tables must have encryption enabled.
All Amazon SNS topics must have encryption enabled and enforce SSL.
All Amazon SNS queues must enforce SSL.

Feedback

To provide feedback on Amazon Q Developer, create an issue in the Amazon Q Developer public repository.

For more detailed information, visit the Amazon Q for GitHub documentation.

Thank you for your work on integrating EventBridge Scheduler functionality and updating the packaging scripts. However, there are several critical security issues and areas for improvement that need to be addressed before this pull request can be approved:

  1. Input Validation: The EventBridge Scheduler integration lacks robust input validation, which could lead to security vulnerabilities.

  2. Unimplemented Core Functionality: The createSchedule method in the EventBridgeSchedulerService is not yet implemented, which is crucial for the feature to work.

  3. Critical Security Vulnerabilities: The clean.ts script contains multiple severe security issues, including hardcoded credentials, command injection, path traversal, and SQL injection vulnerabilities. These must be addressed immediately.

  4. Insecure File Download: The downloadFiles function in package.ts has potential security implications and needs to be refactored for better security and error handling.

Please address these issues, focusing particularly on resolving the security vulnerabilities. Once these changes are made, we can re-review the pull request. If you need any clarification or assistance with implementing secure solutions, please don't hesitate to ask.

🛑 Security Vulnerability: The input validation for the schedule name is not robust enough. It allows empty strings and doesn't enforce a minimum length, which could lead to potential security risks1. Consider enhancing the validation to ensure a minimum length and prevent empty inputs.

The createSchedule method is currently throwing an error indicating that the EventBridge Scheduler integration is not yet implemented. It's important to implement this method to provide the core functionality of creating schedules. Consider prioritizing the implementation of this method to interact with the AWS EventBridge Scheduler API.

🛑 Critical Security Vulnerabilities: This code contains multiple severe security issues:

  1. Hardcoded credentials (API key, password, database connection string)1
  2. Command injection vulnerability in the executeCommand function2
  3. Path traversal vulnerability in the readUserFile function3
  4. SQL injection vulnerability in the query string4

These issues pose significant security risks and must be addressed immediately.

The downloadFiles function has potential security implications:

  1. It only checks for the Linux platform, which might lead to unexpected behavior on other platforms.
  2. It uses child_process.execFileSync to run curl, which could be a security risk if the url parameter is not properly sanitized1.
  3. The function silently ignores any errors during the download process, which could lead to incomplete or corrupted files without any warning.

Consider implementing more robust error handling, input validation, and using a more secure method for downloading files, such as a trusted HTTP client library.
