DryRun Security SummaryThe pull request implements the Authentication Context Class Reference (ACR) feature in the Janssen Authentication Server, including the introduction of ACR mappings, disclosure of ACR mappings in the OpenID Connect discovery document, and a detailed flowchart explaining the ACR derivation process, with recommendations for secure configuration and implementation to mitigate potential security risks. Expand for full summarySummary: The code change in this pull request is related to the implementation of the Authentication Context Class Reference (ACR) feature in the Janssen Authentication Server (Janssen AS). The key changes include the introduction of ACR mappings (or aliases) to provide more flexibility in the authentication flow, the disclosure of these ACR mappings in the Janssen AS's OpenID Connect discovery document, and the inclusion of a detailed flowchart to explain how the Janssen AS derives the ACR value for a user session. From an application security perspective, it is crucial to ensure that the ACR-related configurations and implementation are thoroughly reviewed and tested. Aspects such as secure ACR mapping configuration, validation of ACR values, secure handling of the default ACR, and robust logging and monitoring mechanisms should be carefully considered to mitigate potential security risks. Improper implementation or configuration of the ACR feature could lead to unexpected authentication flows, privilege escalation, or bypassing of authentication requirements. Files Changed:
