The “PackageGate” Leak: Why Git Dependencies Bypass Your CI/CD Safety Net

For the last year, the JavaScript ecosystem has been on a collective mission to harden the software supply chain. We’ve adopted what many call the “Shai-Hulud” playbook: we pin every version in a lockfile, we audit for typosquatting, and most importantly, we run npm install –ignore-scripts in our CI/CD pipelines to prevent malicious post-install hooks […]

How to Test Supabase Row-Level Security Using an Open-Source Scanner

If you are building on Supabase, you already know how powerful Row-Level Security can be. It gives you fine-grained control over who can read, update, or delete specific rows in your database.

Supabase row level security is often described as the backbone of data protection inside modern Supabase applications. And in theory, it is. RLS allows teams to control exactly which rows a user can read, insert, update, or delete. Done correctly, it creates strong isolation between tenants, users, and roles. But here’s what many teams discover a little too late: Supabase RLS security is powerful, yet […]
