Add captcha for IBM WSC OrderHub portal for additional security

Problem Statement - Brute-force attack/Reverse brute-force attack issues in the Order Hub console reported by security team.

Description - When the attacker gets a hold of either username or password by some means, they can systematically check for all the possible combinations until the correct one is found. Alternatively, the attacker can attempt to guess the key which is typically created from the password using a key derivation function. In a reverse brute-force attack, a single (usually common) password is tested against multiple usernames or encrypted files. The process may be repeated for a select few passwords. In such a strategy, the attacker is not targeting a specific user.

Solution: Integrating captcha or MFA for additional security

What is your industry? Consumer Products
How will this idea be used?

If captcha is implemented, it can prevent auto bots from performing brute/reverse brute force attacks if the attacker gets a hold of username or password. With the current implementation of using just username/password to access the console, it poses a security risk. In the times, when almost most of the enterprise applications use captcha or employ MFA to prevent such risks, it's necessary to be in line with the security threats that could be prevented in the near future.

    Hi @Bharat, The product provides SSO feature for Call center, application console, SBC and other modules.

    May I know when the Single Sign-on support for WSC & OrderHub will be available? Can you share the timeline?

    Hi Suraj, IDP integration feature (mechanism) is getting developed and tentatively planned to be released in Q3 23. Keep checking the release updates and plan for your side of integration with third party IDP to introduce captcha.

    Hi Suraj, Captcha feature is not the direct OMS product feature but the IDP feature. You need to work with Identity provider company if they provide CAPTCHA feature and integrate WSC, OrderHub with them.

    By using Burp's Intruder tool to automatically send several requests in a row, the testing team sent 101 requests to the *POST https://acc.omnihub.3stripes.net/wsc/store/processLogin.do* endpoint to brute-force the user's password in an automated way.
