Resolving a Critical SSO Security Issue

Tracked down a stubborn SSO vulnerability by rebuilding the auth flow from first principles.

Overview

EVS is a platform where users join anonymously to answer multi-format questions, with voice communication, chat, and real-time data features.

The challenge

A serious SSO login security issue had resisted multiple attempts to resolve. Patches treated symptoms while the underlying flow stayed misunderstood.

My approach

I sat with the full SSO sequence end-to-end, built a small isolated proof-of-concept to reproduce the handshake, and used the controlled reproduction to pin down the real defect rather than guessing.

Result

The root cause was identified and resolved, restoring secure login behavior and clearing a long-standing audit risk.
