Description

An attacker that obtains access to a compromised user account can both prevent and further maintain access to the victim user's account when the application does not offer the possibility to change the initial e-mail address.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing user account system to understand how user data and authentication are managed. Plan the implementation of an email change feature that includes email verification for the new address and confirmation for the old address. Consider security measures like sending notifications to both old and new emails.
