# Authentication Bypass

The code example below is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass

```java
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class OAuth2ACS {
private final Map<String, String> accessTokenMap = new HashMap<>();

public String createAccessToken(String clientId, String userId) {
String accessToken = generateAccessToken();
accessTokenMap.put(accessToken, userId);
return accessToken;
}

public String getUserId(String accessToken) {
return accessTokenMap.get(accessToken);
}
}
```

# Why it's vulnerable?

It does not properly validate the client ID and user ID inputs, and it stores the access token and user ID mapping in an unencrypted and unauthenticated in-memory data store.

# How to fix?

Implement stronger authentication mechanisms and secure storage for access tokens and user IDs

```java
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

public class OAuth2ACS {
private final Map<String, User> accessTokenMap = new HashMap<>();

public String createAccessToken(String clientId, String userId, String clientSecret) {
if (!validateClientIdAndSecret(clientId, clientSecret)) {
throw new InvalidClientException("Invalid client ID or secret.");
}
String accessToken = generateAccessToken();
User user = new User(userId);
accessTokenMap.put(accessToken, user);
return accessToken;
}

public User getUser(String accessToken) {
User user = accessTokenMap.get(accessToken);
if (user == null) {
throw new InvalidTokenException("Invalid access token.");
}
return user;
}

private boolean validateClientIdAndSecret(String clientId, String clientSecret) {
// Implement a secure validation mechanism for client ID and secret
// For example, you could use TLS mutual authentication or client credentials flow
return true;
}

private String generateAccessToken() {
// Implement a secure access token generation mechanism
// For example, you could use JWT tokens with encryption and signing
return "secure_access_token";
}

private class User {
private final String userId;

public User(String userId) {
this.userId = userId;
}

public String getUserId() {
return userId;
}
}
}
```
