Someone named Suresh just committed a cardinal sin of web security. They're comparing the user's OTP input against a hidden field called otp_hidden... which exists in the DOM... on the client side... where literally anyone can just open DevTools and read it.
It's like putting a lock on your door but leaving the key taped to the doorknob with a sticky note that says "SECRET KEY - DO NOT USE". The entire point of OTP verification is that it should be validated server-side against what was actually sent to the user's phone/email. Storing it in a hidden input field defeats the purpose harder than using var in 2024.
The red circle highlighting this masterpiece is chef's kiss. This is the kind of code that makes security researchers weep and penetration testers rub their hands together gleefully. Never trust the client, folks.
