supabase-extract-service-key（Supabase 提取 service KEY）

Supabase Service Key Detection

🔴 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 discovery - 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 detects if the service_role key (admin key) is accidentally exposed in client-side code.

When to Use This Skill

• As part of every security audit (this is critical)
• When reviewing code before production deployment
• After detecting Supabase usage to check for this common mistake

Prerequisites

• Target application accessible
• Supabase detection completed (auto-invokes if needed)

Why This Is Critical

The service_role key bypasses ALL Row Level Security (RLS) policies. If exposed:

This is a P0 (Critical) finding that requires immediate action.

Service Key vs Anon Key

Detection Patterns

The skill searches for:

1. Key with service_role Claim

// Decoded JWT payload contains:
{
  "role": "service_role",  // ❌ CRITICAL if in client code
  "iss": "supabase",
  "ref": "abc123def"
}

2. Variable Names

// Common naming patterns
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY
SUPABASE_ADMIN_KEY
SUPABASE_SECRET_KEY
SERVICE_ROLE_KEY

3. Accidental Exposure

// Sometimes exposed alongside anon key
const keys = {
  anon: 'eyJ...',
  service: 'eyJ...'  // ❌ Should not be here
}

Usage

Basic Check

Check for service key leak on https://myapp.example.com

Deep Scan

Deep scan for service key exposure on https://myapp.example.com

 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 IMMEDIATE REMEDIATION STEPS
 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

 1. ROTATE THE KEY NOW
    → Supabase Dashboard > Settings > API > Regenerate service_role key

 2. REMOVE FROM CLIENT CODE
    → Delete the key from your source code
    → Redeploy your application

 3. AUDIT FOR ABUSE
    → Check Supabase logs for unauthorized access
    → Review database for unexpected changes

 4. USE EDGE FUNCTIONS
    → Move privileged operations to Edge Functions
    → Client calls Edge Function, which uses service key server-side

    "service_key_exposed": true,
    "service_key_location": "/static/js/admin.chunk.js:89"
  }
}

Source Maps Check

The skill also checks for exposed source maps that might reveal keys:

Source Maps Analysis:
├── main.js.map: ❌ Exposed (may contain secrets)
├── vendor.js.map: ❌ Exposed
└── Recommendation: Disable source maps in production

To check source maps content:
→ Add .map to JS URLs: /static/js/main.js.map

Common Causes

Remediation Code Examples

Before (Wrong)

// ❌ WRONG - Service key in client
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

const supabase = createClient(
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL,
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY  // ❌ NEVER DO THIS
)

After (Correct)

// ✅ CORRECT - Only anon key in client
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

const supabase = createClient(
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL,
  process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY  // ✅ Safe for client
)

// For privileged operations, call an Edge Function:
const { data } = await supabase.functions.invoke('admin-action', {
  body: { action: 'delete-user', userId: '123' }
})

Edge Function (Server-Side)

// supabase/functions/admin-action/index.ts
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'

Deno.serve(async (req) => {
  // ✅ Service key only on server
  const supabase = createClient(
    Deno.env.get('SUPABASE_URL'),
    Deno.env.get('SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY')  // ✅ Safe on server
  )

  // Perform privileged operation
  // ...
})

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 starting any action → Log the action to .sb-pentest-audit.log
2. After each discovery → Immediately update .sb-pentest-context.json
3. After each significant step → Log completion 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)

1. Update .sb-pentest-context.json with findings: {"supabase": {"service_key_exposed": true/false, "service_key_location": "path:line"}, "findings": [{"id": "SERVICE_KEY_EXPOSED", "severity": "P0", "title": "Service Role Key Exposed",...}]}
2. Log to .sb-pentest-audit.log: [TIMESTAMP] [supabase-extract-service-key] [START] Checking for service key exposure [TIMESTAMP] [supabase-extract-service-key] [CRITICAL] Service key EXPOSED at path:line [TIMESTAMP] [supabase-extract-service-key] [CONTEXT_UPDATED].sb-pentest-context.json updated
3. If files don't exist, create them before writing.

FAILURE TO UPDATE CONTEXT FILES IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
