pgspot
A static analysis tool that spots security vulnerabilities in PostgreSQL extension scripts and SQL code.
What is pgspot?
pgspot is a static analysis tool that checks PostgreSQL SQL scripts for security vulnerabilities, specifically targeting extension scripts and security definer functions. It automates the detection of common attack vectors like search path manipulation and unsafe object creation to help developers follow PostgreSQL security best practices before deployment.
PostgreSQL extension developers, database administrators, and security engineers who write or review SQL scripts, particularly those creating extensions or security definer functions that require adherence to PostgreSQL security guidelines.
Developers choose pgspot because it proactively identifies security vulnerabilities that are easy to overlook in PostgreSQL code, offering configurable analysis for SQL-accepting functions and procedural languages, which helps prevent privilege escalation and injection attacks in a specialized domain.
