### Security Report: Multi-Factor Authentication Analysis

#### Overview:
This report provides an analysis of the multi-factor authentication (MFA) mechanisms implemented in the application. The application supports multiple MFA methods including OTP (One-Time Password), ForgeRock Authenticator, and WebAuthentication. Various security tests such as brute-forcing attempts and parameter manipulation were conducted to assess the security posture of the application's MFA systems.

---

### Test 1: OTP (One-Time Password) Brute-force Attempt
- **Objective**: Assess the susceptibility of the OTP mechanism to brute-force attacks.
  
- **Process**:
  - Multiple brute-force attempts were made by repeatedly submitting incorrect OTPs.
  
- **Findings**:
  - After five incorrect OTP submissions, the application locked the account for a period of **15 minutes**.
  - During the account lockout, no further OTP attempts could be made.

- **Conclusion**:
  - The OTP mechanism is well-protected against brute-force attacks.
  - The account lockout after five failed attempts ensures that the OTP system is resistant to large-scale brute-forcing.
  - No security vulnerabilities were identified in the OTP implementation.

### Test 2: ForgeRock Authenticator Manipulation
- **Objective**: Investigate the impact of manipulating the ForgeRock Authenticator push request and its parameters.

- **Process**:
  - The ForgeRock push request was intercepted and the polling time parameter was manipulated, increasing the time to more than **2 minutes**.
  - Multiple push notification requests were also flooded to the system to test how the application responds.

- **Findings**:
  - The application aborted the authentication process when the polling time was increased beyond the **2-minute** threshold.
  - Similarly, the application terminated the process when multiple push notifications were sent within a **2-minute** window, effectively stopping the flood attack.

- **Conclusion**:
  - The application’s ForgeRock Authenticator mechanism effectively detects and mitigates parameter manipulation and notification flooding.
  - The process aborts after any manipulation beyond 2 minutes, demonstrating a robust defense against timing-based attacks.
  - No exploitable vulnerabilities were found in the ForgeRock Authenticator implementation.

### Test 3: WebAuthentication Mechanism
- **Objective**: Evaluate the security of the WebAuthentication MFA option.

- **Process**:
  - The WebAuthentication method was used to send an approval request to the user’s device.
  - After approving the request on the device, the user was redirected to the dashboard.

- **Findings**:
  - The WebAuthentication process functioned as intended, sending the approval request and allowing the user access after verification.
  - No abnormalities or potential attack vectors were identified in this method of authentication.

- **Conclusion**:
  - The WebAuthentication mechanism is secure and performs as expected.
  - No weaknesses were found during the authentication process, and the user was securely redirected to the dashboard after approval.

### Overall Conclusion:
The multi-factor authentication (MFA) mechanisms employed by the application—including OTP, ForgeRock Authenticator, and WebAuthentication—were found to be secure against common attack vectors such as brute-forcing, parameter manipulation, and flooding.

- **OTP**: The account lockout mechanism after five failed attempts effectively prevents brute-force attacks.
- **ForgeRock Authenticator**: The system detects and terminates manipulation attempts and flooding within a 2-minute threshold, adding a layer of protection against such attacks.
- **WebAuthentication**: The approval and redirection process is secure and works as expected with no vulnerabilities identified.

In conclusion, the application's MFA mechanisms provide a robust layer of security and no critical vulnerabilities were detected during the tests.
