“Monitor plan regressions and security tests” concerns Security predicates join an unindexed tenant mapping table; the reported problem instead is Application bugs could read rows belonging to another tenant. Monitor policy changes and cross-tenant access tests.

“Monitor key access and driver encryption errors” concerns Server-side encryption alone leaves plaintext exposed to DB engine; the reported problem instead is Application bugs could read rows belonging to another tenant. Monitor policy changes and cross-tenant access tests.

Unusual cross-tenant queries can help detect an active exposure, but may be observed only after an unauthorized query has already occurred. The stated early preventive criterion requires checking RLS policy changes and continuous negative access tests rather than only reactive anomalies.

“Inspect schemas, effective privileges and undesired objects” concerns Repeated per-object GRANT updates are error-prone; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Review effective database roles and required queries.

“Inspect key hierarchy and permitted decrypting roles” concerns Data requires encryption at rest but query-time access is limited; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Review effective database roles and required queries.

“Review threat model and ability to run queries or export data” concerns Masking is not a substitute for authorization and can be inferred; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Review effective database roles and required queries.

“Revoke exposed credential, rotate it and remove secret from source history/process” concerns Secrets may have been indexed and copied; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Grant SELECT on approved views and remove broad owner membership.

“Restrict MCP tools to metadata-only and remove broad write authority” concerns An AI agent only needs metadata yet can invoke DELETE; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Grant SELECT on approved views and remove broad owner membership.

“Grant appropriate schema-scope SELECT only after catalog review” concerns Repeated per-object GRANT updates are error-prone; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Grant SELECT on approved views and remove broad owner membership.

“Try authorized GET and unauthorized mutation using test tokens” concerns Default or overly broad role mappings permit unintended writes; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Try allowed view SELECT and prohibited table DROP as test principal.

“Try harmless metadata read and blocked test DELETE” concerns An AI agent only needs metadata yet can invoke DELETE; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Try allowed view SELECT and prohibited table DROP as test principal.

“Add a synthetic view and test effective permissions” concerns Repeated per-object GRANT updates are error-prone; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Try allowed view SELECT and prohibited table DROP as test principal.

“Only intended read methods succeed; writes are rejected” concerns Default or overly broad role mappings permit unintended writes; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Only documented read operations succeed.

“Event is preserved and modifications are prevented or detectable” concerns Admins could alter evidence after a security incident; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Only documented read operations succeed.

“Restricted principals cannot retrieve sensitive raw values through alternate paths” concerns Masking is not a substitute for authorization and can be inferred; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Only documented read operations succeed.

“Monitor API denied requests and role drift” concerns Default or overly broad role mappings permit unintended writes; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Monitor grants and privileged role membership.

“Monitor token failures and assigned role drift” concerns Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Monitor grants and privileged role membership.

“Monitor unexpected UNMASK grants and data export paths” concerns Regular SELECT reveals sensitive contact details; the reported problem instead is Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk. Monitor grants and privileged role membership.

“Inspect DAB runtime role mapping, entity actions and authentication” concerns Default or overly broad role mappings permit unintended writes; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Inspect identity support and SQL principal mapping.

“Inspect existing column masking rules and principal rights” concerns Regular SELECT reveals sensitive contact details; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Inspect identity support and SQL principal mapping.

“Inspect DAB role filters and SQL identity context” concerns Resolver inherits broad SQL user permissions; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Inspect identity support and SQL principal mapping.

“Back up protected keys/certificates separately with controlled access” concerns Missing encryption certificate blocks restoration; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Use managed identity with Microsoft Entra authentication for SQL access.

“Classify sensitive columns and enforce access according to data policy” concerns Teams cannot apply proper controls without data inventory; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Use managed identity with Microsoft Entra authentication for SQL access.

“Use managed identity or scoped credential and approved endpoint authorization” concerns Static API keys in scripts are exposed in source control; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Use managed identity with Microsoft Entra authentication for SQL access.

“Restore encrypted database in DR sandbox using approved key procedure” concerns Missing encryption certificate blocks restoration; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Call a disposable database from the Function test identity.

“Invoke fake model endpoint under minimally privileged test identity” concerns Static API keys in scripts are exposed in source control; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Call a disposable database from the Function test identity.

“Run controlled inference probes against masked fields in a test database” concerns Masking is not a substitute for authorization and can be inferred; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Call a disposable database from the Function test identity.

“Encrypted data can be recovered by authorized process only” concerns Storage backup compromise could expose plaintext pages; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Authorized query works without stored SQL passwords.

“Authorized client decrypts while untrusted SQL session sees ciphertext” concerns Server-side encryption alone leaves plaintext exposed to DB engine; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Authorized query works without stored SQL passwords.

“Old credential fails and new credential works only for scoped permissions” concerns Secrets may have been indexed and copied; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Authorized query works without stored SQL passwords.

“Monitor grants and privileged role membership” concerns Unnecessary DDL rights create serious modification risk; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Monitor token failures and assigned role drift.

“Monitor anomalous prior token activity” concerns Secrets may have been indexed and copied; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Monitor token failures and assigned role drift.

“Monitor API denied requests and role drift” concerns Default or overly broad role mappings permit unintended writes; the reported problem instead is Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials. Monitor token failures and assigned role drift.
