How it was found
Hi, I hope you doing well I found a critical endpoint which disclosed the personal information which can use to takeover any account present on https://██████████ #Steps:
- Visit the link https://www.████████/███████ you will get my details, including first name and last name, mobile number and email_address related to the account.
- Go to the forgot password link present at https://www.███████/ click on it.
- Enter the mail address later you will be taken to another page which will ask you to enter mail address and pin
- After entering mail address enter the pin as "████" as █████████ is at the endpoint.
- It will validate and will ask you to change the password of that account.
Note: To get email list and pin list just decrease the number at the endpoint
for example https://www.████████/███will give you another mail_address and pin will be ██████████
Impact
An attacker can able to takeover any account that is present on that side.
