🔴 CRITICAL: PROGRESSIVE FILE UPDATES REQUIRED

You MUST write to context files AS YOU GO, not just at the end.

Write to .sb-pentest-context.json IMMEDIATELY after each table tested

Log to .sb-pentest-audit.log BEFORE and AFTER each test

DO NOT wait until the skill completes to update files

If the skill crashes or is interrupted, all prior findings must already be saved

This is not optional. Failure to write progressively is a critical error.

This skill attempts to read data from exposed tables to determine what information is actually accessible.

When to Use This Skill

After listing tables, to verify actual access
To test RLS policy effectiveness
To assess the severity of data exposure
To document exactly what data can be retrieved

Prerequisites

Tables listed (auto-invokes supabase-audit-tables-list if needed)
Anon key available

How It Works

The skill performs SELECT queries on each exposed table:

GET https://[project].supabase.co/rest/v1/[table]?select=*&limit=5
Authorization: Bearer [anon-key]

Important: This is READ-ONLY. No data is modified or deleted.

Test Modes

Mode	Description	Queries
Quick	First 5 rows from each table	`?limit=5`
Sample	Random sample across tables	`?limit=10&order=random`
Count	Just row counts, no data	`HEAD` request

Usage

Basic Read Test

Test read access on exposed tables

Quick Count Only

Count accessible rows in all tables (no data retrieval)

Specific Table

Test read access on the users table

    Finding: User emails and names accessible without auth

 2. profiles
    Status: 🟠 P1 - PARTIAL ACCESS
    Rows Retrieved: 5
    Note: Only public fields returned (RLS working partially)
    Columns Visible: id, bio, website
    Columns Blocked: user_id, social_links, private_notes

 3. posts
    Status: ✅ EXPECTED ACCESS
    Rows Retrieved: 5
    Note: Only published=true posts returned (RLS working)
    Data: Public content, appropriate access level

 4. orders
    Status: ✅ BLOCKED
    Response: 403 Forbidden
    Message: "new row violates row-level security policy"
    Note: RLS properly blocking access

 5. api_keys
    Status: ✅ BLOCKED
    Response: 403 Forbidden
    Note: RLS properly protecting secrets

 6. products
    Status: ✅ EXPECTED ACCESS
    Rows Retrieved: 5
    Note: Public catalog data, appropriate access

 7. comments
    Status: 🟠 P1 - MORE DATA THAN EXPECTED
    Rows Retrieved: 5
    Issue: user_id column exposed (can correlate to users)
    Recommendation: Use a view to hide user_id

 8. settings
    Status: 🔴 P0 - SENSITIVE DATA EXPOSED
    Rows Retrieved: 3
    Sample Data:
    ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
    │ key: stripe_webhook_secret                          │
    │ value: whsec_xxxxxxxxxxxx ← SECRET EXPOSED         │
    └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
    Finding: Application secrets in accessible table!

 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Summary
 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

 P0 (Critical): 2 tables with sensitive data exposed
 P1 (High): 2 tables with partial/unexpected exposure
 Blocked: 2 tables properly protected
 Expected: 2 tables with appropriate public access

 Total Rows Accessible: 1,892 across exposed tables

 Immediate Actions:
 1. Fix 'settings' table - remove from public or add RLS
 2. Fix 'users' table - add RLS to protect email/name
 3. Review 'comments' to hide user correlation

Severity Assessment

Status	Severity	Criteria
🔴 DATA EXPOSED	P0	Sensitive data (PII, secrets, financial) accessible
🟠 PARTIAL ACCESS	P1	More data than expected, but not critical
🟡 UNEXPECTED	P2	Accessible but low-risk data
✅ BLOCKED	-	RLS properly preventing access
✅ EXPECTED	-	Public data, appropriate access

Data Classification

The skill identifies sensitive data types:

Type	Patterns	Severity if Exposed
PII	email, phone, name, address	P0
Financial	amount, total, card, payment	P0
Secrets	key, secret, token, password	P0
Auth	user_id, session, jwt	P1
Metadata	created_at, updated_at	P2

Remediation Examples

For User Tables

-- Enable RLS
ALTER TABLE users ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;

-- Only authenticated users see their own data
CREATE POLICY "Users see own data"
  ON users FOR SELECT
  USING (auth.uid() = id);

-- Or create a public view with limited columns
CREATE VIEW public.users_public AS
  SELECT id, avatar_url, created_at FROM users;

For Settings Tables

-- Remove from public access entirely
REVOKE ALL ON TABLE settings FROM anon, authenticated;

-- Access only via Edge Functions
-- In your Edge Function:
const { data } = await supabaseAdmin
  .from('settings')
  .select('*')
  .eq('key', 'stripe_webhook_secret')
  .single()

For Content Tables

-- RLS for published content only
CREATE POLICY "Public sees published posts"
  ON posts FOR SELECT
  USING (published = true);

-- Authors see their own drafts
CREATE POLICY "Authors see own posts"
  ON posts FOR SELECT
  USING (auth.uid() = author_id);

Common Issues

❌ Problem: All tables return 403 ✅ Solution: RLS may be too restrictive or anon key invalid. This is actually good from a security standpoint.

❌ Problem: Empty results but no error ✅ Solution: RLS is filtering all rows. Table structure is exposed but no data.

❌ Problem: Timeout on large tables ✅ Solution: Use count mode or reduce limit.

MANDATORY: Progressive Context File Updates

⚠️ This skill MUST update tracking files PROGRESSIVELY during execution, NOT just at the end.

Critical Rule: Write As You Go

DO NOT batch all writes at the end. Instead:

Before testing each table → Log the action to .sb-pentest-audit.log
After each table tested → Immediately update .sb-pentest-context.json with results
After each finding → Log the severity to .sb-pentest-audit.log

This ensures that if the skill is interrupted, crashes, or times out, all findings up to that point are preserved.

Required Actions (Progressive)

Update .sb-pentest-context.json with results:

{
  "data_access": {
    "timestamp": "...",
    "tables_tested": 8,
    "summary": { "p0_exposed": 2, ... },
    "results": [ ... ],
    "total_rows_accessible": 1892
  }
}

Log to .sb-pentest-audit.log:

[TIMESTAMP] [supabase-audit-tables-read] [START] Testing data access
[TIMESTAMP] [supabase-audit-tables-read] [FINDING] P0: users table exposed
[TIMESTAMP] [supabase-audit-tables-read] [CONTEXT_UPDATED] .sb-pentest-context.json updated

If files don't exist, create them before writing.

FAILURE TO UPDATE CONTEXT FILES IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

MANDATORY: Evidence Collection
