Duo Two-factor Authentication Bypass

It’s too easy when hacking, to assume something is invulnerable and not interrogate it. This was the case for me when it came to Duo’s two-factor authentication solution. However, we were able to discover two variants of the same 2FA bypass. These rely on redirecting a victim’s push notifications to an attacker-controlled device, to authorise access to a victim account. Interactions with Duo had this fixed in record time, and were easily some of the best vendor/researcher interactions we’ve ever had. If you’re looking for their technical guidance around this, you can find it here.
