Description
There aren't a lot of T-SQL security checkers out there, so lets add some rules for T-SQL scripts. Suggestions from Raul:
- Executing any of the dangerous XPs, such as xp_cmdshell
- Changing the configuration to enable dangerous features (i.e. EXEC[UTE] sp_configure ‘xp_cmdshell’, 1)
- Using dynamic SQL (i.e. EXECUTE).
- The difficult part of this one would be to know if the dynamic SQL is properly escaped to prevent SQLi, so we could simply warn the user
- Enabling some features on DBs such as setting the trustworthy = ON on a DB
- Granting elevated permissions (i.e. GRANT UNSAFE ASSEMBLY … )
- Create a new login (with password) without CHECK_POLICY = ON

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing rule and analyzer structure for SQL-related checks, then scope the proposed T-SQL rules, including dangerous XPs, dynamic SQL, database configuration, elevated permissions, and login policy; done means each agreed rule is implemented with coverage and documented warning behavior.
