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.

Security Review Summary

This PR adds a JavaScript file that demonstrates OS command injection vulnerabilities (CWE-78). The code contains critical security flaws that must be addressed before merging:

Critical Issues Found:

  1. OS Command Injection Vulnerability: Direct user input interpolation in shell commands allows arbitrary command execution
  2. Missing Input Validation: No sanitization or validation of user-provided data
  3. Unsafe API Usage: Using exec() instead of safer alternatives like execFile()

Recommendations:

  • Replace exec() with execFile() to prevent shell injection
  • Add comprehensive input validation and sanitization
  • Consider if this vulnerable code is intentionally added for testing purposes - if so, ensure it's properly isolated and documented

The current implementation poses significant security risks and should not be deployed in any production environment.


You can now have the agent implement changes and create commits directly on your pull request's source branch. Simply comment with /q followed by your request in natural language to ask the agent to make changes.

const userInput = req.body.input;

// Execute the vulnerable binary with user input
exec(`./rop_basic '${userInput}'`, (error, stdout, stderr) => {

🛑 Security Vulnerability: This code contains a critical OS command injection vulnerability. User input is directly interpolated into a shell command without sanitization, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary system commands1.

Suggested change
exec(`./rop_basic '${userInput}'`, (error, stdout, stderr) => {
execFile('./rop_basic', [userInput], (error, stdout, stderr) => {

Import execFile instead of exec to use the safer alternative for command execution that prevents shell injection attacks.

Add input validation to prevent malicious payloads. User input should be validated and sanitized before processing.

Suggested change
const userInput = req.body.input;
const userInput = req.body.input;
// Validate input
if (!userInput || typeof userInput !== 'string' || userInput.length > 100) {
return res.status(400).json({ message: 'Invalid input' });
