Patent number: 12192191Abstract: A system and method provide access to a remote resource locally by requesting content from an original address and receiving a first requested content and a first redirect uniform resource locator in response. The first redirect uniform resource locator reroutes the navigation from the original address requested to a redirect destination address that serves an access token. The system and method unlock access to a second application programming interface in response to validating the access token served by the redirect destination address and receives a second requested content and a second redirect uniform resource locator in response to transmitting the access token to the original address. The second redirect uniform resource locator transfers a user to an environment residing at an address different from the original address and the redirect destination address.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2023Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: PROGRESSIVE CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Matthew Todd White, David Mark Krew

Patent number: 12182273Abstract: Code injection is a type of security vulnerability in which an attacker injects client-side scripts modifying the content being delivered. A sanitizer function may provide defense against such attacks by removing certain characters (e.g., characters causing state transitions in HTML). A string sanitizer may be modeled in order to determine its effectiveness by obtaining data flow information indicating string operations that used an input string or information derived therefrom, including a string sanitizer function. A deterministic finite automata representing string values of the output parameter may be generated based on a graph generated from the data flow information, where the automata accepts possible output string values of the sanitizer. It can be determined whether there is a non-empty intersection between the automata for the sanitizer output and an automata representing a security exploit, which would indicate that the sanitizer function is vulnerable to the exploit.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2022Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Thomas Barber, David Klein, Martin Johns

Patent number: 12137091Abstract: Techniques are described for providing session management functionalities using an access token (e.g., an Open Authorization (OAuth) access token). Upon successful user authentication, a session (e.g., a single sign-on session) is created for the user along with a user identity token that includes information identifying the session. The user identity token is presentable in an access token request sent to an access token issuer authority (e.g., an OAuth server). Upon receiving the access token request, the user identity token is parsed to identify and validate the session against information stored for the session. The validation can include various session management-related checks. If the validation is successful, the token issuer authority generates the access token. In this manner, the access token that is generated is linked to the session. The access token can then be used by an application to gain access to a protected resource.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2023Date of Patent: November 5, 2024Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Mayank Maria, Aarathi Balakrishnan, Dharmvir Singh, Madhu Martin, Vikas Pooven Chathoth, Vamsi Motukuru
