**Summary:** By knowing the mobile phone number associated with a Twitter account, or by using random mobile phone numbers! It is possible to perform the following actions against a target without their knowledge or interaction. With no account takeover scenario. It's a case of, if I know the mobile number... I can control basic functions of the account. I can do everything that is listed here: https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/sms-commands on an account, completely unauthenticated. ## Steps To Reproduce: (Add details for how we can reproduce the issue) 1. Spoof target number, send an SMS to a special short code for the geographical location, as seen here: https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/supported-mobile-carriers ## Impact: Massive. I can remove the SMS two factor of the account. I can DM people without them knowing. If I had the mobile number of Donald Trump, I could send Tweets as him... There is so much wrong here. ## Supporting Material/References: * List any additional material (e.g. screenshots, logs, etc.) https://twitter.com/___Sh4rk___/status/1076204152546619392 this is a tweet I sent from my close friends account. She did not reveal her password or authenticate it at all. ## Impact Remove 2FA Tweet on someones behalf. DM Someone.
