Don’t Trust TRUSTWORTHY

Chad Callihan talks about an untrustworthy setting:

TRUSTWORTHY is a database property change that can have far-reaching security consequences when turned ON. Let’s take a brief look at what the TRUSTWORTHY property is and if it’s worth turning on, even when it is a potential fix to your problems.

Chad links to a DBA Stack Exchange post from Solomon Rutzky concerning module signing, which is a good opportunity for me to plug Solomon’s modulesigning.info. This is the correct answer, not TRUSTWORTHY or any of its ilk (EXECUTE AS, cross-database ownership chaining, etc.).
