Weakness: Violation of Secure Design Principles

Severity: Medium

Vulnerable Host: steemit.com

Summary:

I was able to Bypass the 2FA verification code through bruteforcing the code.Thus, It could be misused by an attacker to misuse other emails of your customers/users and bruteforce the verification code.

Video POC:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qxHfRTh0kAq0bkSsx2wVDVB3-8ze-nC8/view?usp=sharing

Impact:

Emails can be misused and the email verification code can be bypassed.

Looking forward to hear from you soon and to report further.

This is an issue with steemit/faucet, not the network itself. Also this isn't 2fa this but a email verification code. Steem fundamentally cannot support email-based 2FA. This only allows going through signup with a email that you don't control, which isn't even useful, since the signup process involves using the email you verified earlier.

@Phoenix202020 You cannot login with a email. You must use a username to sign in. Your email is only used during sign up. You'd only be doing yourself a disservice by signing up with a email you don't control -- the email you provide is only used for the signup process and for account recovery.
