GET /api/database?query=SELECT+++name+++FROM+++users+++WHERE+++id=42

I've seen that exact type of endpoint, hitting databases in production. 🔥

If that's a pass through, that's bad.

If that's used for authentication, authorization, credential limiting, or rate limiting, then sure.

There is no context in this world validating this level of unsanitized SQL. Even for internal use this is bad, since it bypasses the auth of server and dbms.
