Supabase URL Extraction

🔴 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 extracts the Supabase project URL from a web application's client-side code.

When to Use This Skill

• After detecting Supabase usage, to get the exact project URL
• When you need the API base URL for further testing
• To identify which Supabase project an application uses

Prerequisites

• Target URL accessible
• Supabase usage detected (or suspected)

How It Works

The skill scans for URL patterns in:

1. JavaScript Source Code

// Direct URL references
const SUPABASE_URL = 'https://abc123.supabase.co'
createClient('https://abc123.supabase.co', key)

// Environment variable patterns
process.env.SUPABASE_URL
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL
import.meta.env.VITE_SUPABASE_URL

2. HTML Meta Tags and Scripts

<meta name="supabase-url" content="https://abc123.supabase.co">
<script>
  window.SUPABASE_URL = 'https://abc123.supabase.co'
</script>

3. Configuration Objects

const config = {
  supabase: {
    url: 'https://abc123.supabase.co'
  }
}

Usage

Basic Extraction

Extract Supabase URL from https://myapp.example.com

From Local Files

If you have downloaded the source:

Extract Supabase URL from ./dist/assets/

Output Format

 SUPABASE URL EXTRACTED

 Project URL: https://abc123def.supabase.co
 Project Ref: abc123def

 Found in:

Context Output

Saved to .sb-pentest-context.json:

{

    "project_ref": "abc123def",

    "endpoints": {
      "rest": "https://abc123def.supabase.co/rest/v1/",
      "auth": "https://abc123def.supabase.co/auth/v1/",
      "storage": "https://abc123def.supabase.co/storage/v1/",

      "functions": "https://abc123def.supabase.co/functions/v1/"
    },
    "sources": [
      {
        "file": "/static/js/main.abc123.js",
        "line": 1247,
        "context": "const SUPABASE_URL = 'https://abc123def.supabase.co'"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Multiple URLs

If multiple Supabase URLs are found:

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 MULTIPLE SUPABASE URLS FOUND
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

 ⚠️  Multiple Supabase projects detected

 1. https://abc123.supabase.co (primary - most references)
    └── Found in: main.js, config.js

 2. https://xyz789.supabase.co (secondary)
    └── Found in: analytics.js

 Using primary URL for further analysis.
 To use a different URL, specify it manually.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Validation

The skill validates extracted URLs by:

1. Format check — Matches expected Supabase URL patterns
2. Reachability check — Attempts to reach the REST API endpoint
3. Response validation — Confirms Supabase-like response

Validation:
├── Format: ✅ Valid Supabase URL format
├── Reachable: ✅ REST API responds (200 OK)
└── Confirmed: ✅ Response matches Supabase pattern

Common Issues

❌ Problem: URL not found despite Supabase detection ✅ Solution: The URL may be in a dynamically loaded chunk. Try:

Extract URL with deep scan from https://myapp.example.com

❌ Problem: URL found but validation fails ✅ Solution: The project may be paused or the region may have connectivity issues. The URL is still recorded.

❌ Problem: Only custom domain found ✅ Solution: Custom domains are valid. The skill will note it as a custom domain and attempt to identify the underlying project.

Security Notes

• This skill only reads publicly available code
• No authentication is attempted
• The URL alone does not grant access (key is also required)

Next Steps

After extracting the URL:

1. Run supabase-extract-anon-key to find the API key
2. Run supabase-extract-service-key to check for leaked service keys
3. Proceed to API auditing skills

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 extracted data:

   {
     "supabase": {
       "project_url": "https://[ref].supabase.co",
       "project_ref": "[ref]",
       "endpoints": { ... }
     }
   }
   

   Copy

2. Log to .sb-pentest-audit.log:

   [TIMESTAMP] [supabase-extract-url] [START] Beginning URL extraction
   [TIMESTAMP] [supabase-extract-url] [SUCCESS] URL extracted: https://[ref].supabase.co
   [TIMESTAMP] [supabase-extract-url] [CONTEXT_UPDATED] .sb-pentest-context.json updated
   

   Copy

3. If files don't exist, create them before writing.

FAILURE TO UPDATE CONTEXT FILES IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
