A finding is the start of a review.
This example explains how to read security evidence. It is not a customer report, an executed scan, or a claim that this sample application is safe.
Release decision: insufficient evidence
The example repository review identifies a possible secret in a browser-facing file. Database access-policy evidence is missing and deployment settings have not been checked. A release decision still needs those checks and verification of any changes.
1. Check what the review actually covers
- Repository
- Illustrative finding only; no real commit scanned
- Supabase policies
- Missing — no database review executed
- Deployment
- Missing — no deployment evidence collected
- Verification
- Not run — no fix has been verified
In a real review, inspect the source, revision and collection time. Fresh evidence can still contain findings. A failed or missing check does not become a passing result.
2. Investigate the finding
Possible privileged key in client configuration. The synthetic example points to src/example-client.ts, line 12. No real key is displayed. Confirm the credential type and whether the file enters a client bundle before deciding the exposure and severity. A public Supabase publishable key is expected in client code; a secret/service-role key is not.
A pattern match alone does not establish whether a credential is active, what it can access, or whether anyone used it. Those questions require authorized evidence.
3. Review a proposed fix
If a privileged key was exposed, rotate it, investigate its use and move privileged operations behind authenticated server-side authorization. Remove the key from client configuration and inspect generated assets. Deleting a line does not revoke a credential or erase repository history. Supported repository changes can be proposed in a draft pull request; review the diff before merging.
4. Collect verification evidence
- Record the new commit and deployment being assessed.
- Confirm the old credential is revoked through the provider's supported process.
- Inspect the deployed client assets for the exposed value without sharing it in a report.
- Check authorized and unauthorized access to the server operation using synthetic test data.
- Rerun affected checks and retain the result, source and time.
These are suggested operator steps, not a claim that Sentrail automatically performs every verification. Until qualifying evidence exists, the example remains unverified.
