Supabase has unveiled a new feature, Security Advisors, which scans projects for misconfigurations by utilizing Splinter, an open-source security linter for Postgres. This tool aims to enhance the security posture of applications by identifying common vulnerabilities in database configurations.
Key Features of Security Advisors:
- Detection of tables without Row Level Security (RLS)
- Identification of policies that could be made more restrictive
- Examination of sensitive columns that might be exposed
This initiative is particularly important for developers and builders who prioritize security in their applications. By addressing common misconfigurations, the Security Advisors tool aids in the development of more secure and robust applications, helping teams stay ahead of potential security issues.
