Anand Prakash could get the token of any Uber user with the help of another Uber app. They have said that for this user's phone number or email ID is required. This bug was quite serious, but Uber has said that no hacker has used it with the wrong intent so far.

On logging in Uber's app, you get access token which has a ride history. By inserting a user ID in the Uber app, its token was being leaked. Token could be obtained from email ID and phone number.
