What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when dbName must not equal dev. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Rename the default database from 'dev' to a meaningful name to reduce accidental connection risk. In AWS Console: Redshift > Clusters > create new cluster with custom DB name. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/managing-clusters-console.html
Terraform
resource "aws_redshift_cluster" "{name}" {
database_name = "mydb" # Use a meaningful name, not "dev"
}
