Securely Define Stored Procedures and Functions DEFINER and INVOKER

How it is checked

Audit method: Manual review

This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.

Run SHOW PROCEDURE STATUS; and SHOW FUNCTION STATUS; and inspect Definer and Security_type. For SQL SECURITY DEFINER routines owned by powerful users, review the code (SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE/FUNCTION <name>) and information_schema.routines/parameters.

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Use SQL SECURITY INVOKER where possible, or set DEFINER to a least-privileged account (ALTER/CREATE ... DEFINER=...), and restrict EXECUTE on sensitive routines.
