How it was found

Hello @khanacademy, Anyone can create unlimited fake accounts using temp mails. i,e https://temp-mail.org/en/ 1- Go to https://temp-mail.org/en/ 2- Select an mail 3- Enter that mail while creating an account in khanacademy 4- You will get confirm mail from khanacademy on https://temp-mail.org/en/

Impact: One day attacker will create 1000+ accounts using some technique like, bruteforce. then, all usernames will locked. @khanacademy will only allow *gmail.com,*yahoo.com ..etc trusted domains. not temp mails. in create account section.

Thanks, @sameerphad72
