Authenticated User Audit

🔴 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 test
• Log to .sb-pentest-audit.log BEFORE and AFTER each action
• 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 creates a test user (with explicit permission) to compare authenticated vs anonymous access and detect IDOR vulnerabilities.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: User Consent Required

DO NOT proceed without explicit user consent.

When to Use This Skill

• After completing anonymous access tests
• To detect IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerabilities
• To test cross-user data access
• To verify RLS policies work for authenticated users
• To find privilege escalation issues

Prerequisites

• Signup must be open (or use invite flow)
• Anon key available
• Anonymous audit completed (recommended)

Why Authenticated Testing Matters

Many vulnerabilities only appear with authentication:

Test User Creation

Email Format

pentest-[8-char-random]@security-audit.local

Example: pentest-a7b3c9d2@security-audit.local

Password Generation

Strong password with:

• 32+ characters
• Uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols
• Cryptographically random

Example: Xk9$mP2#vL5@nQ8&jR4*wY7!hT3%bU6^

The password is displayed ONCE and saved to evidence.

Tests Performed

1. User Creation & Login

# Create user
curl -X POST "$SUPABASE_URL/auth/v1/signup" \
  -H "apikey: $ANON_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "pentest-xxx@security-audit.local", "password": "[STRONG_PASSWORD]"}'

# Login and get JWT
curl -X POST "$SUPABASE_URL/auth/v1/token?grant_type=password" \
  -H "apikey: $ANON_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "pentest-xxx@security-audit.local", "password": "[STRONG_PASSWORD]"}'

2. Authenticated vs Anonymous Comparison

For each table:

3. IDOR Testing

# As test user, try to access other user's data
curl "$SUPABASE_URL/rest/v1/orders?user_id=eq.[OTHER_USER_ID]" \
  -H "apikey: $ANON_KEY" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer [TEST_USER_JWT]"

# If returns data: IDOR vulnerability!

4. Cross-User Access

# Get test user's ID from JWT
TEST_USER_ID=$(echo $JWT | jq -r '.sub')

# Try to access data belonging to a different user
curl "$SUPABASE_URL/rest/v1/profiles?id=neq.$TEST_USER_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer [TEST_USER_JWT]"

# If returns other users' profiles: Cross-user access!

5. Storage with Authentication

# Test authenticated storage access
curl "$SUPABASE_URL/storage/v1/object/list/documents" \
  -H "apikey: $ANON_KEY" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer [TEST_USER_JWT]"

# Compare with anonymous results

6. Realtime with Authentication

// Subscribe to table changes as authenticated user
const channel = supabase.channel('test')
  .on('postgres_changes', {
    event: '*',
    schema: 'public',
    table: 'orders'
  }, payload => console.log(payload))
  .subscribe()

// Does it receive OTHER users' order changes?

 Comparison:

 └── Auth-only vulnerabilities: 5

 Recommendation:
 These issues were NOT visible in anonymous testing!
 Always test with authenticated users.

RLS Policy Examples

Correct: Users see only their own data

-- This RLS policy is correct
CREATE POLICY "Users see own data"
  ON users FOR SELECT
  USING (auth.uid() = id);

-- Result:
-- Anonymous: 0 rows
-- Authenticated: 1 row (own data)

Incorrect: All authenticated users see everything

-- This RLS policy is WRONG
CREATE POLICY "Authenticated users see all"
  ON users FOR SELECT
  USING (auth.role() = 'authenticated');  -- ❌ Too permissive!

-- Result:
-- Anonymous: 0 rows
-- Authenticated: ALL rows ← VULNERABILITY!

Correct fix:

-- Fix: Add user ownership check
CREATE POLICY "Users see own data"
  ON users FOR SELECT
  USING (auth.uid() = id);  -- ✅ Only own row

Cleanup Options

Option 1: Manual deletion (Dashboard)

Supabase Dashboard → Authentication → Users → Find test user → Delete

Option 2: Via service_role key (if available)

curl -X DELETE "$SUPABASE_URL/auth/v1/admin/users/[USER_ID]" \
  -H "apikey: $SERVICE_ROLE_KEY" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SERVICE_ROLE_KEY"

Option 3: Leave for later

The test user uses a non-functional email domain (security-audit.local) and cannot be used maliciously.

curl -s "$SUPABASE_URL/rest/v1/users?select=*&limit=5" -H "apikey: $ANON_KEY" -H "Authorization: Bearer [JWT]"

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:

1. Before user creation → Log consent and action to .sb-pentest-audit.log
2. After user created → Immediately save user details to context and evidence
3. After each comparison test → Update .sb-pentest-context.json with results
4. After each IDOR test → Save evidence immediately

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

Required Actions (Progressive)

1. Log user creation:

   [TIMESTAMP] [supabase-audit-authenticated] [CONSENT] User authorized test user creation [TIMESTAMP] [supabase-audit-authenticated] [CREATED] Test user pentest-xxx@security-audit.local

2. Save test user to context immediately:

   { "authenticated_audit": { "test_user": { "email": "...", "user_id": "...", "created_at": "..." } } }

3. Log each finding as discovered:

   [TIMESTAMP] [supabase-audit-authenticated] [FINDING] P0: IDOR in orders table

FAILURE TO UPDATE CONTEXT FILES PROGRESSIVELY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
