# Signup Flow 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 completed**
> - Log to `.sb-pentest-audit.log` **BEFORE and AFTER each test**
> - **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 tests the user registration flow for security issues and misconfigurations.

## When to Use This Skill

- To verify if signup is appropriately restricted
- To test for signup abuse vectors
- To check rate limiting on registration
- As part of authentication security audit

## Prerequisites

- Supabase URL and anon key available
- Auth config audit completed (recommended)

## Why Signup Security Matters

Open signup can lead to:

| Risk | Description |
|------|-------------|
| Spam accounts | Bots creating fake accounts |
| Resource abuse | Free tier exploitation |
| Email spam | Using your service to send emails |
| Data pollution | Fake data in your database |
| Attack surface | More accounts = more attack vectors |

## Tests Performed

| Test | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| Signup availability | Is registration open? |
| Email validation | Does it accept invalid emails? |
| Rate limiting | Can we create many accounts? |
| Disposable emails | Are temp emails blocked? |
| Password policy | What passwords are accepted? |
| Response information | What info is leaked? |

## Usage

### Basic Signup Test

```
Test signup security on my Supabase project
```

### Check Specific Aspects

```
Test if disposable emails are blocked for signup
```

## Output Format

```
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 SIGNUP FLOW AUDIT
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

 Project: abc123def.supabase.co
 Endpoint: /auth/v1/signup

 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Signup Availability
 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

 Status: ✅ OPEN (Anyone can register)

 Test Result:
 POST /auth/v1/signup
 Body: {"email": "test-xxxxx@example.com", "password": "TestPass123!"}
 Response: 200 OK - Account created

 Assessment: Signup is publicly available.
             Review if this is intended.

 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Email Validation
 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

 Valid email formats:
 ├── user@domain.com: ✅ Accepted (expected)
 ├── user+tag@domain.com: ✅ Accepted (expected)
 └── user@subdomain.domain.com: ✅ Accepted (expected)

 Invalid email formats:
 ├── user@: ❌ Rejected (good)
 ├── @domain.com: ❌ Rejected (good)
 ├── user@.com: ❌ Rejected (good)
 └── not-an-email: ❌ Rejected (good)

 Disposable Email Test:
 ├── user@mailinator.com: ✅ Accepted ← 🟠 P2
 ├── user@tempmail.com: ✅ Accepted ← 🟠 P2
 └── user@guerrillamail.com: ✅ Accepted ← 🟠 P2

 Finding: Disposable emails are not blocked.
 Risk: Users can create throwaway accounts.

 Recommendation: Consider using an email validation
 service or blocklist in your application logic.

 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Password Policy
 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

 Minimum Length Test:
 ├── "12345" (5 chars): ❌ Rejected
 ├── "123456" (6 chars): ✅ Accepted ← P2 Short
 └── "1234567890" (10 chars): ✅ Accepted

 Current Policy: Minimum 6 characters

 Weak Password Test:
 ├── "password": ✅ Accepted ← 🟠 P2
 ├── "123456": ✅ Accepted ← 🟠 P2
 ├── "qwerty123": ✅ Accepted ← 🟠 P2
 └── "letmein": ✅ Accepted ← 🟠 P2

 Finding: Common weak passwords are accepted.

 Recommendation:
 1. Increase minimum length to 8+ characters
 2. Consider password strength requirements
 3. Check against common password lists

 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Rate Limiting
 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

 Signup Rate Test (same IP):
 ├── Request 1: ✅ 200 OK
 ├── Request 2: ✅ 200 OK
 ├── Request 3: ✅ 200 OK
 ├── Request 4: ❌ 429 Too Many Requests
 └── Retry-After: 3600 seconds

 Rate Limit: 3 signups/hour per IP
 Assessment: ✅ Rate limiting is active (good)

 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Information Disclosure
 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

 Existing Email Test:
 POST /auth/v1/signup (with existing email)
 Response: "User already registered"

 Finding: 🟠 P2 - Response reveals email existence

 This allows:
 ├── Email enumeration attacks
 ├── Knowing if someone has an account
 └── Targeted phishing attempts

 Recommendation: Use generic message like
 "Check your email to continue" for both new
 and existing accounts.

 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Email Confirmation
 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

 Status: ❌ NOT REQUIRED (confirmed in auth-config)

 Test: Created account and checked session
 Result: User immediately authenticated without
         email confirmation.

 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Summary
 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

 Signup: Open to public
 Rate Limiting: ✅ Active (3/hour)
 Email Confirmation: ❌ Not required

 Findings:
 ├── P1: Email confirmation disabled
 ├── P2: Disposable emails accepted
 ├── P2: Weak passwords accepted
 └── P2: Email enumeration possible

 Security Score: 5/10

 Priority Actions:
 1. Enable email confirmation
 2. Strengthen password policy
 3. Consider disposable email blocking
 4. Use generic error messages

        "severity": "P2",
        "issue": "Email enumeration possible"
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

## Remediation Examples

### Block Disposable Emails

```typescript
// In your signup handler or Edge Function
import { isDisposable } from 'email-validator-package';

if (isDisposable(email)) {
  throw new Error('Please use a permanent email address');
}
```

### Strengthen Password Requirements

```typescript
// Custom password validation
function validatePassword(password: string): boolean {
  if (password.length < 8) return false;
  if (!/[A-Z]/.test(password)) return false;
  if (!/[a-z]/.test(password)) return false;
  if (!/[0-9]/.test(password)) return false;
  return true;
}
```

### Prevent Email Enumeration

```typescript
// Always return same message
async function signup(email, password) {
  try {
    await supabase.auth.signUp({ email, password });
  } catch (error) {
    // Don't reveal if email exists
  }
  return { message: 'Check your email to continue' };
}
```

### Restrict Signup

If signup should be invite-only:

```typescript
// Use admin API to invite users
const { data, error } = await supabaseAdmin.auth.admin.inviteUserByEmail(
  'user@example.com'
);

// Or disable signup in dashboard and use:
const { data, error } = await supabaseAdmin.auth.admin.createUser({
  email: 'user@example.com',
  email_confirm: true
});
```

## 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 each signup test** → Log the action to `.sb-pentest-audit.log`
2. **After each vulnerability found** → Immediately update `.sb-pentest-context.json`
3. **After rate limit tests** → Log the results 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. **Update `.sb-pentest-context.json`** with results:
   ```json
   {
     "signup_audit": {
       "timestamp": "...",
       "signup_open": true,
       "rate_limit": { ... },
       "findings": [ ... ]
     }
   }
   ```

2. **Log to `.sb-pentest-audit.log`**:
   ```
   [TIMESTAMP] [supabase-audit-auth-signup] [START] Testing signup security
   [TIMESTAMP] [supabase-audit-auth-signup] [FINDING] P2: Weak passwords accepted
   [TIMESTAMP] [supabase-audit-auth-signup] [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.**

## MANDATORY: Evidence Collection

📁 **Evidence Directory:** `.sb-pentest-evidence/05-auth-audit/signup-tests/`

### Evidence Files to Create

| File | Content |
|------|---------|
| `signup-tests/open-signup.json` | Signup availability test |
| `signup-tests/weak-password.json` | Weak password acceptance test |
| `signup-tests/disposable-email.json` | Disposable email test |
| `signup-tests/rate-limit.json` | Rate limiting test |

### Evidence Format

```json
