🔍 The Bug: OTP Bypass in Phone Number Update

I discovered a critical vulnerability in ***** that allowed an attacker to take over any phone number linked to an account. The issue? A broken OTP validation process. 😱

🔥 How the Bug Was Found:

1️⃣ Open the ***** app and go to Account Settings.

2️⃣ Choose to update your phone number.

3️⃣ Enter a new phone number.

4️⃣ The app prompts for a 4-digit OTP verification.

5️⃣ Instead of the real OTP, simply enter “0000”.

6️⃣ BOOM! 🎉 The phone number gets updated — without any verification! 🤯
