supabase-audit-authenticated

You can audit Supabase RLS policies for IDOR by creating a dedicated test user to compare authenticated access patterns against anonymous access, verifying that row-level security prevents cross-user data exposure and privilege escalation.

The difference between anonymous and authenticated access in Supabase security audits is that authenticated user creation reveals IDOR, cross-user data access, and privilege escalation vulnerabilities that remain invisible when testing only anonymous API requests.

You can test for privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Supabase by creating a test user to audit authenticated access patterns, verifying that regular users cannot reach administrative functions or access other users' data.

Yes, you need Supabase API keys and credentials for user management and data retrieval to audit authenticated user access, as creating a dedicated test user and verifying RLS policies requires direct interaction with your Supabase backend.

Yes, you can detect IDOR vulnerabilities in Supabase storage and tables during a pentest by comparing authenticated user permissions against anonymous access to pinpoint cross-user data exposure and verify RLS policy enforcement.

You should perform an authenticated security audit after confirming anonymous users cannot access sensitive data, ensuring authenticated users can only access their own data and not that of other users or administrative functions.
