Security depends heavily on the SQL Server configuration (credentials, networking, TLS/transport settings) rather than the package itself. Because this is a local dev/test helper, the primary risks are exposing the database on insecure interfaces, using weak credentials, and logging connection strings/secrets if the integration is done carelessly.
