CCCT-2723 Document reCAPTCHA SMS Defense Rollout And Add Toggle Script - #3878
CCCT-2723 Document reCAPTCHA SMS Defense Rollout And Add Toggle Script#3878Jignesh-dimagi wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
…[AI] Firebase's automatic carrier guardrails are returning error 39 on PersonalID phone verification, blocking OTP delivery before an SMS is sent. Enabling reCAPTCHA SMS Defense exempts the project from those guardrails. Records the prep-up findings for CCCT-2723 — key and threshold semantics, monitoring signals, cost surfaces and the staged test plan — alongside a script that toggles enforcement through the Identity Toolkit admin API, showing a diff and taking a backup before each write. Project configuration only; the SDK versions already meet the documented floors, so no app code changes.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds documentation for Firebase reCAPTCHA SMS Defense, including setup, key creation, configuration fields, monitoring, costs, and staged rollout steps. It also adds a Python CLI that reads and updates Firebase Auth configuration through the Identity Toolkit API. The CLI supports status checks, audit or enforce modes, thresholds, dry runs, backups, confirmation, verification, and rollback-oriented error handling. Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The rollout script can currently apply an ineffective Android configuration or disable shared bot protection when turning SMS Defense off, while the documented Android fallback test is incorrect. These production-impacting issues should be fixed before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Google Cloud Identity Platform reCAPTCHA phone authentication Android audit mode Play Integrity silent push reCAPTCHA v2 fallback
💡 Result:
In Google Cloud Identity Platform (and Firebase Authentication), "Audit Mode" is a non-blocking enforcement setting for reCAPTCHA/bot protection during phone authentication [1][2][3]. It allows developers to monitor traffic and potential toll fraud/bot scores without immediately blocking users [4]. When a user initiates phone authentication in Audit Mode, the platform performs an initial assessment (such as a toll fraud or bot protection check) [1][2][3]. If this initial check fails or is inconclusive, the system triggers a layered fallback mechanism [1][2][3]. The standard Android verification flow typically proceeds as follows: 1. Initial Assessment: The platform uses reCAPTCHA Enterprise/bot protection to assess the request [1][2][3]. 2. Play Integrity API Fallback: If the initial assessment fails, the platform attempts to verify the app's integrity using the Play Integrity API [1][2][3]. 3. reCAPTCHA v2 Fallback: If the Play Integrity check also fails, the system triggers a reCAPTCHA v2 challenge [1][2][3]. reCAPTCHA v2 may be triggered in specific scenarios, including [1][2][3]: - The device lacks Google Play services [1][2][3]. - The application is not distributed through the official Google Play Store (applies to Authentication SDK v21.2.0 and later) [1][2][3]. - The integrity token cannot be validated or is otherwise unavailable [1][2][3]. Regarding "silent push," while Firebase/Identity Platform uses silent push notifications for app verification on iOS, Android authentication primarily relies on the Play Integrity API and reCAPTCHA services for app/device attestation [5][6]. For Android, developers must ensure the correct SHA-1/SHA-256 fingerprints are registered in the Firebase console to enable successful Play Integrity attestation [5][6][7]. If these are missing or if the app is side-loaded (and thus fails Play Integrity checks), the flow will reliably fall back to reCAPTCHA v2, which may require manual user interaction to complete [6][7].

Correct the Android audit fallback description.
This flow uses Android Firebase phone authentication. When the assessment fails, Android uses Play Integrity first, then reCAPTCHA v2 if Play Integrity fails or is unavailable. Silent push fallback applies to iOS. Update the test plan to exercise the Android fallback, including the user-visible reCAPTCHA v2 challenge.

Google Identity Platform reCAPTCHA SMS Defense disable phoneEnforcementState useSmsTollFraudProtection useSmsBotScore
💡 Result:
To disable reCAPTCHA SMS defense features in Google Identity Platform, you must update your project's reCAPTCHA configuration by setting the phone enforcement state to OFF and disabling the specific protection flags [1][2][3]. The configuration update should set the following parameters: - phoneEnforcementState: OFF [1][2][3] - useSmsTollFraudProtection: false [1][3] - useSmsBotScore: false [2][3] When these features are disabled, the Identity Platform ceases using the reCAPTCHA Enterprise risk assessments (both bot scores and toll fraud verdicts) to block or audit SMS authentication requests [2][4]. You can perform this update using the Google Cloud REST API (e.g., via the projects.updateConfig method) or the Firebase Admin SDK [1][2][4]. For example, when using the REST API, you would send a patch request to the project configuration with the following JSON structure: { "recaptchaConfig": { "phoneEnforcementState": "OFF", "useSmsTollFraudProtection": false, "useSmsBotScore": false } } Note that features like useSmsTollFraudProtection and useSmsBotScore are technically designed to only be active when phoneEnforcementState is set to AUDIT or ENFORCE [4][5]. Setting phoneEnforcementState to OFF effectively disables the integration [1][2]. Additionally, if you are experiencing issues with users being blocked, you may consider switching to AUDIT mode to monitor traffic before fully disabling protection, or adjusting your toll fraud managed rules rather than disabling the entire system [6].

When useSmsBotScore is true, off sets the shared phoneEnforcementState to OFF, which disables bot protection. The warning does not prevent --yes from applying this change. Reject this operation or disable only SMS Defense while preserving the current enforcement state.

Identity Platform reCAPTCHA SMS defense recaptchaKeys Android registration phoneEnforcementState API
💡 Result:
To integrate reCAPTCHA SMS defense with Identity Platform for Android applications, you must configure the reCAPTCHA enforcement settings and the Android SDK [1][2]. The integration helps protect against SMS toll fraud and bot-driven authentication attacks [1][2][3]. Key Configuration Components: 1. Enforcement Modes (phoneEnforcementState): This defines how Identity Platform uses reCAPTCHA assessments for phone authentication flows [4]. Valid states include: - OFF: No enforcement [4]. - AUDIT: reCAPTCHA assessments are performed but not used to block requests (useful for monitoring) [4][5]. - ENFORCE: reCAPTCHA assessments are used to block requests based on configured thresholds [4]. 2. Protection Flags: - To enable SMS toll fraud protection, you must set phoneEnforcementState to AUDIT or ENFORCE and set the boolean flag useSmsTollFraudProtection to true [1][4]. - To enable SMS bot protection (bot score), set phoneEnforcementState to AUDIT or ENFORCE and set useSmsBotScore to true [2][4][5]. 3. Implementation Steps: - Android SDK: Ensure your application uses the latest Android SDK (version 23.1.0 or later is required for phone authentication protection) [1][2]. The SDK automatically fetches your reCAPTCHA configuration and enforces thresholds upon integration [1][2]. - reCAPTCHA Keys: You must create score-based reCAPTCHA keys for your Android application in the Google Cloud console [3][6]. - Admin SDK: Configure the project or tenant settings using the Firebase Admin SDK or REST API by updating the recaptchaConfig [2][4]. This includes defining the phoneEnforcementState, enabling the specific protection flags (useSmsTollFraudProtection or useSmsBotScore), and setting managed rules (e.g., score thresholds) [2][7][4]. Troubleshooting: If users are being incorrectly blocked, monitor the reCAPTCHA metrics by setting the mode to AUDIT [8]. You can adjust the tollFraudManagedRules or bot protection thresholds to be more permissive if necessary [8]. Lowering the toll fraud score threshold results in stricter blocking behavior [8].

site:cloud.google.com/identity-platform/docs/recaptcha-tfp recaptchaKeys Android registered key phone authentication assessment
💡 Result:
To implement reCAPTCHA Enterprise for phone authentication on Android, you must configure your project to utilize reCAPTCHA SMS defense [1][2]. This integration provides risk assessment to protect against SMS toll fraud during the authentication flow [1][3]. Key Requirements and Configuration: 1. Enable reCAPTCHA Enterprise: You must enable the reCAPTCHA Enterprise API within your Google Cloud project [1][2]. 2. SDK Dependencies: Ensure your application uses the latest version of the Firebase Authentication Android SDK (version 23.1.0 or later) and the reCAPTCHA Android SDK (version 18.5.1 or later) [1][2]. 3. Configuration Settings: Within your authentication setup, define the Recaptcha_MODE parameter. This must be set to either AUDIT or ENFORCE to activate the protection [1][2]. Additionally, the useSmsTollFraudProtection flag must be set to true [1][2]. 4. Platform Keys: When configuring your reCAPTCHA keys, ensure the key is correctly set up for the appropriate platforms, including Android [4]. 5. Assessment Process: In AUDIT mode, the Identity Platform performs an initial toll fraud assessment [1][2]. If this assessment fails, it initiates app verification via the Play Integrity API [1][2]. If Play Integrity verification also fails, the system may trigger a reCAPTCHA v2 challenge [1][2]. Once integrated, the Android SDK automatically fetches your reCAPTCHA configuration and enforces the thresholds established for your configured providers [1][2]. You can monitor the efficacy of these protections through the reCAPTCHA metrics emitted by your project [1][2].

💡 Result:
In the context of Google Identity Platform, the RecaptchaConfig resource includes the phoneEnforcementState field as part of its configuration for securing SMS-based authentication flows [1][2]. The phoneEnforcementState field is an enum of type RecaptchaProviderEnforcementState [1][2]. It defines the enforcement status of reCAPTCHA protection for the phone provider, covering all SMS-related user flows [1][2]. Key aspects of this configuration include: 1. Enforcement Status: The field determines whether reCAPTCHA is active, allowing for states such as AUDIT or ENFORCE [1][2]. 2. Dependency: Other security features, such as useSmsBotScore and useSmsTollFraudProtection, depend on this field. Specifically, these features can only be enabled (set to true) when the phoneEnforcementState is set to AUDIT or ENFORCE [1][2]. 3. Toll Fraud Protection: Managed rules related to toll fraud protection only take effect when phoneEnforcementState is set to AUDIT or ENFORCE and useSmsTollFraudProtection is enabled [1][2]. The recaptchaKeys field within the same RecaptchaConfig object is used to manage the specific reCAPTCHA keys associated with the project [1][2].

Main blocker is the site key: `recaptchaKeys` is empty, and support's instruction to supply a SHA-256 during key creation matches neither creation flow — see [Creating an Android key never asks for a SHA-256 fingerprint](#creating-an-android-key-never-asks-for-a-sha-256-fingerprint) | |

does this mean that you have now configured the recaptchaKeys corrrectly ? Otherwise it should not be marked as done.

This needs to be confirmed with the Firebase support team. Creating an Android reCAPTCHA key (site key) only requires the package name—it never prompts for a SHA-256 fingerprint. However, according to an email from Firebase support, it should require a SHA-256 fingerprint, which isn't happening. Please clarify this with them before moving forward.
Note: Nothing has been implemented yet since we are still in the planning phase. 'Done' in this context simply means accounted for in the plan.

@Jignesh-dimagi will followup with them, can we complete all prep up steps other than that though.

Actually I can see the sha-256 already added for our app here - https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/commcare-a57e4/appcheck/apps

I checked that, but I'm still confused by the steps provided by the Firebase support team. According to them, the site key generation process requires a SHA-256 fingerprint. Here is what they said:
'''
Click Configure site keys and add your Android app. Enter your Package Name and your SHA-256 fingerprint (matching what is in your Firebase Project Settings). This will generate the unique key your app needs to communicate with reCAPTCHA.
'''
I know the legacy reCAPTCHA console used to ask for SHA-1/SHA-256 fingerprints alongside package names when generating keys. If possible, let's wait for their response to clarify this. Otherwise, we can move ahead using latest reCAPTCHA Enterprise.

@Jignesh-dimagi will followup with them, can we complete all prep up steps other than that though.
The first step to moving forward is creating the Site key, as nothing can proceed without it. Since the steps provided by Firebase support do not match the current setup interface, we have two options:
-
Wait for Support: Wait for a reply from the Firebase support team to get clarification before proceeding.
-
Move Ahead: Proceed immediately with creating the site key. I am confident that support provided outdated instructions from the legacy reCAPTCHA console, whereas we are using reCAPTCHA Enterprise. We can continue moving forward while still waiting for their response.
I am fine with either approach.

yeah I think it's best to trust the current documentation over their support and we can move ahead on this. I have copied you on a email with Firebase support as well where you can ask further questions on this if required.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'd vote for AUDIT mode
This PR includes a script to toggle reCAPTCHA on and off, which could be useful in the future. I vote to merge this so we have it readily available in case of an emergency. |
That makes sense to me! In that case, what are your thoughts on generalizing the plan doc to not mention the ticket specifically given that open source devs will not be able to access the ticket for context? |

Technical Summary
scripts/recaptcha_sms_defense.pyreads and toggles reCAPTCHA SMS Defense on theFirebase project through the Identity Toolkit admin API, showing a diff, asking for
confirmation and backing up the config before any write. The doc records the
CCCT-2723 prep-up findings — key and threshold semantics, monitoring signals, cost,
and the staged test plan.
Nothing here enables anything; the rollout is still blocked on an unresolved
question about the Android site key.
