Credential vulnerability check for sign-up forms
The patent US12039054B2 describes a computer system designed to enhance security during the sign-up process for online services. The system includes a memory and at least one processor that detects requests for sign-up forms from client devices to remote servers. Upon detection, the system generates code to initiate a credential vulnerability check against a database of known vulnerable passwords. This process involves creating a unique client session identifier and token linked to the sign-up request's URL, which are then communicated to an application management server. The system also provides the generated code and a cookie containing the session identifier to the client device for execution. Following the vulnerability check, the system can perform various security actions, such as requiring updates to vulnerable credentials, blocking form submissions, issuing warnings, logging vulnerabilities, or alerting administrators.
Additionally, the patent outlines specific features of the system, including the use of JavaScript for the generated code and the implementation of an on-submit event handler to trigger the code execution upon form submission. The system is capable of generating hashes of the credentials submitted in the sign-up form and ensuring consistent password-setting rules across multiple applications. It also includes mechanisms for parsing the sign-up form to identify submission methods and specifies that the credential vulnerability check is initiated by the application management server, triggered by the client device. The patent further encompasses a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores executable instructions to facilitate the detection of vulnerable credentials, ensuring a comprehensive approach to online security during user registration processes.
