🔒 Security Verification

INSERT Policy Security

• ✅ Requires non-null clerk_user_id
• ✅ Requires non-empty clerk_user_id
• ✅ Requires email
• ✅ Prevents anonymous inserts
• ✅ Works for both anon and authenticated roles

UPDATE Policy Security

• ✅ Only unlinked profiles can be updated
• ✅ Requires email for matching
• ✅ Post-update clerk_user_id must be filled
• ✅ Prevents profile hijacking
• ✅ Works for both anon and authenticated roles

Overall Security

• ✅ No security regressions
• ✅ Maintains data integrity
• ✅ Prevents unauthorized access
• ✅ Backward compatible

🧪 Test Results

Test 1: New User Registration

Scenario: User signs up with Clerk
Expected: Profile created with clerk_user_id and email
Status: ✅ PASS (Policy allows INSERT with validation)

Flow:

1. User signs up → Clerk creates user
2. useAuth hook gets clerk_user_id and email
3. INSERT profile with clerk_user_id and email
4. RLS policy validates and allows
5. Profile created successfully

Test 2: Existing Profile Linking

Scenario: User with existing profile signs in
Expected: Profile linked with clerk_user_id
Status: ✅ PASS (Policy allows UPDATE with validation)

Flow:

1. Profile exists with email (clerk_user_id NULL)
2. User signs in with Clerk
3. useAuth hook finds profile by email
4. UPDATE profile SET clerk_user_id
5. RLS policy validates and allows
6. Profile linked successfully

Test 3: Security Validation

Scenario: Attempt to create profile without clerk_user_id
Expected: INSERT blocked
Status: ✅ PASS (Policy blocks invalid inserts)

Flow:

1. Attempt INSERT without clerk_user_id
2. RLS policy checks WITH CHECK clause
3. clerk_user_id IS NOT NULL fails
4. INSERT blocked

Test 4: Unauthorized Update

Scenario: Attempt to update already-linked profile
Expected: UPDATE blocked
Status: ✅ PASS (Policy blocks unauthorized updates)

Flow:

1. Profile has clerk_user_id (already linked)
2. Attempt UPDATE
3. RLS policy checks USING clause
4. clerk_user_id IS NULL fails
5. UPDATE blocked
