Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

supabase/rest/v1/auth/users

Supabase Auth Users API

What an attacker could do

Reaching the auth users table, especially with a leaked `service_role` key, exposes every user record and bypasses Row Level Security, allowing arbitrary reads/writes and full account compromise.

How to defend it

Keep the `service_role` key strictly server-side, enable and test Row Level Security on every table, and serve clients only the anon key with policies that scope access to the authenticated user.
