A comprehensive toolkit of 24 AI agent skills for professional security auditing of Supabase applications. Automates detection, credential extraction, Row Level Security (RLS) testing, IDOR detection, storage audits, authentication analysis, and comprehensive reporting.

What This Project Does

Supabase Pentest Skills is a modular security auditing framework designed for internal self-assessment by authorized development teams. It provides:

• Detection: Identify Supabase usage from public URLs
• Extraction: Discover exposed API keys, JWTs, service keys, and database connection strings
• API Audit: Test PostgREST endpoints, RLS policies, and RPC functions
• Storage Audit: Identify misconfigured buckets and unauthorized file access
• Auth Audit: Test authentication flows, user enumeration, and IDOR vulnerabilities
• Evidence Collection: Professional-grade logging and proof-of-concept documentation
• Reporting: Generate detailed Markdown reports with severity ratings and remediation guidance

Important: These skills are for authorized testing only. You must own or have explicit permission to audit the target application.

Usage Patterns

Pattern 1: Full Guided Audit

I need a complete security audit of https://myapp.example.com

IMPORTANT:
1. Initialize supabase-evidence first
2. Execute ALL 24 skills systematically
3. Log every action
4. Save all evidence
5. Generate final report

I confirm I am authorized to test this application.

The orchestrator will:

1. Initialize evidence collection
2. Run detection and extraction
3. Execute all API, storage, auth audits
4. Generate comprehensive report with severity ratings

Pattern 2: Targeted Extraction

Extract all Supabase credentials from https://example.com

This will run:

• supabase-detect
• supabase-extract-url
• supabase-extract-anon-key
• supabase-extract-service-key (critical check)
• supabase-extract-jwt
• supabase-extract-db-string

Pattern 3: RLS Policy Testing

Test Row Level Security policies on my Supabase app at https://example.com

This will:

1. Extract credentials
2. List tables (supabase-audit-tables-list)
3. Attempt unauthorized reads (supabase-audit-tables-read)
4. Test RLS bypass scenarios (supabase-audit-rls)

Pattern 4: IDOR Detection

Check for IDOR vulnerabilities in auth on https://example.com

This executes supabase-audit-authenticated, which:

1. Creates a test user
2. Attempts cross-user data access
3. Tests privilege escalation
4. Documents findings with proof-of-concept

Pattern 5: Storage Security Audit

Audit storage bucket security for my Supabase application

Runs:

• supabase-audit-buckets-list
• supabase-audit-buckets-read
• supabase-audit-buckets-public

Pattern 6: Compare Progress

Compare my latest audit with the report from last month

Uses supabase-report-compare to show:

• New vulnerabilities discovered
• Issues resolved
• Security score changes

# Supabase Security Audit Report

**Target**: https://myapp.example.com
**Supabase Project**: https://abc123.supabase.co
**Date**: 2025-01-31
**Auditor**: AI Agent (supabase-pentest-skills)

## Executive Summary

**Security Score**: 45/100 (Grade: D)

- **2 P0 (Critical)** issues found
- **3 P1 (High)** issues found
- **5 P2 (Medium)** issues found

**Risk Level**: HIGH — Immediate action required

### Key Risks
1. Service role key exposed in client code (full DB access)
2. Row Level Security disabled on `users` table
3. IDOR vulnerability allows cross-user data access

---

## Critical Findings (P0)

### 1. Service Role Key Exposed in Client Code

**Severity**: P0 - Critical  
**Location**: `/static/js/main.js:1247`  
**Impact**: Full database access bypassing all RLS policies

**Evidence**:
```javascript
const supabase = createClient(
  'https://abc123.supabase.co',
  'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJyb2xlIjoic2VydmljZV9yb2xlIn0...'
  // ^ This is a service_role key!
)

Remediation:

1. Rotate the service_role key immediately in Supabase Dashboard > Settings > API
2. Remove from client code
3. Use anon key in client, service key ONLY in secure backend/Edge Functions

References:

• Supabase Security Best Practices
• API Keys Documentation

---

2. Row Level Security Disabled on users Table

Severity: P0 - Critical
Impact: All user data readable/writable by anyone with anon key

Test Result:

curl 'https://abc123.supabase.co/rest/v1/users?select=*' \
  -H "apikey: ANON_KEY" \
  # Returns ALL users including emails, phone numbers, metadata

Remediation:

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

-- Policy: Users can only read their own data
CREATE POLICY "Users can view own data"
  ON users FOR SELECT
  USING (auth.uid() = id);

-- Policy: Users can update their own data
CREATE POLICY "Users can update own data"
  ON users FOR UPDATE
  USING (auth.uid() = id);

---

High Priority Findings (P1)

1. Public Storage Bucket Misconfiguration

Severity: P1 - High
Bucket: avatars
Impact: All uploaded avatars accessible without authentication

Test:

curl 'https://abc123.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/avatars/user-456/avatar.jpg'
# Returns file without auth

Remediation:

• Make bucket private if files should be protected
• Use signed URLs for temporary access
• Implement storage policies:

CREATE POLICY "Avatar access policy"
  ON storage.objects FOR SELECT
  USING (
    bucket_id = 'avatars' AND
    (storage.foldername(name))[1] = auth.uid()::text
  );

---

Medium Priority Findings (P2)

1. Verbose Error Messages Expose Schema

Severity: P2 - Medium
Impact: Attackers can enumerate table structure

Example:

POST /rest/v1/users
Response: "column 'internal_admin_flag' does not exist"

Remediation: Configure PostgREST to return generic errors in production

---

Remediation Checklist

• URGENT: Rotate service_role key
• URGENT: Enable RLS on all tables
• URGENT: Fix IDOR vulnerability in profiles API
• Make avatars bucket private or add RLS
• Disable open signup or add email verification
• Review all RPC function permissions
• Implement rate limiting on auth endpoints
• Configure generic error messages for production
• Add monitoring for suspicious API access patterns
• Schedule monthly security audits

---

Next Steps

1. Address all P0 issues immediately
2. Re-run audit with: /supabase-pentest after fixes
3. Compare reports: supabase-report-compare old-report.md new-report.md
4. Establish continuous security testing in CI/CD

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

Skills use context files instead of environment variables. However, you can configure:

```bash
# Target URL (overrides prompt)
export SUPABASE_PENTEST_TARGET="https://myapp.example.com"

# Skip confirmation prompts (CI/CD)
export SUPABASE_PENTEST_AUTO_CONFIRM="true"

# Custom evidence directory
export SUPABASE_PENTEST_EVIDENCE_DIR="./security-audit-evidence"

CLAUDE.md Template Configuration

The recommended template enforces:

# Audit Execution Rules

1. **ALWAYS use Plan Mode** (`EnterPlanMode`) before starting
2. **Initialize evidence collection** with `supabase-evidence` FIRST
3. **Execute ALL 24 skills systematically** — NO EXCEPTIONS
4. **After EACH skill**:
   - Update `.sb-pentest-context.json`
   - Append to `.sb-pentest-audit.log`
   - Save evidence to `.sb-pentest-evidence/`
   - Update `timeline.md` for P0/P1/P2 findings
5. **NEVER skip phases** without explicit user confirmation
6. **Generate final report** with `supabase-report`

Troubleshooting

Issue: "Supabase not detected"

Cause: Target site doesn't use Supabase or keys are dynamically loaded

Solution:

Check the page source manually at https://example.com and look for:
- Strings containing 'supabase.co'
- Variables like 'SUPABASE_URL' or 'supabaseUrl'
- Network requests to '*.supabase.co'

Issue: "Rate limited by Supabase API"

Cause: Too many requests in short time

Solution: Skills automatically slow down when detecting rate limits. If persistent:

Wait 5 minutes before retrying the audit

Issue: "No tables found"

Cause: Either no tables exposed or API key invalid

Solution:

Verify the extracted anon key is correct:
1. Check .sb-pentest-context.json
2. Test manually:
   curl 'https://YOUR_PROJECT.supabase.co/rest/v1/' \
     -H "apikey: YOUR_ANON_KEY"

Issue: "Context file missing"

Cause: Skills executed out of order

Solution:

Always start with the orchestrator:
/supabase-pentest

Or run detection first:
supabase-detect on https://example.com

Issue: "Test user creation failed"

Cause: Signup disabled or email verification required

Solution:

Check auth settings:
1. Supabase Dashboard > Authentication > Providers
2. Look for "Enable email confirmations"

The skill will note this as a security finding (positive or negative depending on your requirements).

      -     
         

Security Best Practices

1. Never commit context files to version control:

   echo ".sb-pentest-context.json" >> .gitignore
   echo ".sb-pentest-audit.log" >> .gitignore
   echo ".sb-pentest-evidence/" >> .gitignore
   

2. Always run in isolated audit directories

3. Delete test users after audit:

   After completing the audit, delete the test user from Supabase Dashboard > Authentication > Users
   

4. Rotate keys if service_role leaked:

   If P0 finding "service_role key exposed":
   1. Go to Supabase Dashboard > Settings > API
   2. Click "Rotate" on service_role key
   3. Update all backend services immediately
   

5. Share reports securely (not via public links)

Advanced Usage

Custom Severity Thresholds

Edit findings in .sb-pentest-context.json:

{
  "custom_severity_rules": {
    "public_buckets": "P1",  // Default is P2
    "missing_rls": "P0",     // Default is P0
    "open_signup": "P2"      // Default is P1
  }
}

Exclude Specific Tests

Run Supabase audit but skip auth testing (we have SSO integration)

The orchestrator will skip auth-related skills if you specify exclusions.

Multi-Environment Testing

# Staging
mkdir staging-audit
cd staging-audit
# Run audit on https://staging.myapp.com

# Production
mkdir production-audit
cd production-audit
# Run audit on https://myapp.com

# Compare
supabase-report-compare ../staging-audit/report.md ./report.md
