MVP for "SSalSA" stack

SvelteKit, Supabase, and lovely SSR Auth

Code Showcase

• Email sign-up/sign-in.
• Anon sign in.
• GitHub sign-in. Can easily be changed to other oauth providers.
• Requires a session to access all pages under the authenticated layout group.

All sign-up and sign-ins happen server-side.

Security

Within the (authenticated) layout group, we have a +page.server.ts file for each route. This ensures that even during client navigation we can verify there's still a session before rendering the page.

We check for and fully validate the session by calling event.locals.getSession(). Inside that function, we verify the access_token, aka JWT, and use it's decoded contents to help create a validated session for use on the server-side.

Full validation is important because sessions are stored in a cookie sent from a client. The client could be an attacker with just enough information to bypass checks within supabase.auth.getSession() and possibly render data for a victim user. See this discussion for details.

!!! Simply verifying the JWT does not validate the session.user object, for using it's info to render sensitive user data on the server-side. See discussion link above. !!!
