Hi there,
The login customer id is sequential. I can enumerate the username using brute-force attack. The main problem here is that I can block someone’s net banking without there knowledge, by inputing invalid passwords more than 5 times.
After that if the real customer tries to do a valid transaction they will not be allowed by net banking for 12 hours or more and every time they have to call the bank for the reactivation of their net banking. This will create problem to the customer and will affect the HDFC Bank.
(I have tried blocking my account and the another account with customer id: 60059941)
Fix: Instead of sequential user id, use email address or phone number with OTP verification.
If there is a bounty for this please let me know
