Technical details and impact analysis

Hi Team, I was able to bypass Email Verification code in account registration process. Summary : Authentication Bypass is a dangerous vulnerability, which is found in Web-Applications. An Attackers can bypass the control mechanisms which are used by the underlying web application like Email verification, OTP, Captcha, 2FA, etc. An Attacker can perform a complete Account takeover of Victim. Severity : High / Critical Complexity : Easy From : Remote / External Steps to Reproduce: 1- First visit your website "https://hackers.upchieve.org" and request for the sign up. 2- In the second step, choose either you want to register as an academic coach or need an academic coach. 3- In the third step, enter your email and create a password. 4- In the fourth step, enter name and mobile phone, then sign up. 5- Then request for verification code on email. 6- Enter wrong verification code and intercept request using Burp suite. 7- After intercepting the request, I changed the status from "False" to "True". {"status":false to "status":true} 8- Boom!! Verification code bypassed. 9- Finally, the account was created with the wrong verification code. Proof of Concept : For better understanding, I have attached screenshots and videos after intercepting the request from Burp Suite.
