CVE-2026-31813: Supabase Auth is a JWT based API for managing users and issuing JWT tokens.

Supabase Auth is a JWT based API for managing users and issuing JWT tokens.

Supabase Auth is a JWT based API for managing users and issuing JWT tokens. Prior to 2.185.0, a vulnerability has been identified that allows an attacker to issue sessions for arbitrary users using specially crafted ID tokens when the Apple or Azure providers are enabled. The attacker issues a valid, asymmetrically signed ID token from their issuer for each victim email address, which then is sent to the Supabase Auth token endpoint using the ID token flow. If the ID token is OIDC compliant, the Auth server would validate it against the attacker-controlled issuer and link the existing OIDC identity (Apple or Azure) of the victim to an additional OIDC identity based on the ID token contents. The Auth server would then issue a valid user session (access and refresh tokens) at the AAL1 level to the attacker. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.185.0.

What it means for a small business

If your business uses auth, install the vendor's update. If you're not sure whether you use it, ask whoever manages your computers.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.15%, higher than 3% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 29, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
