class 4 strong, third-person singular simple present steckt, past tense steckte or stak, past participle gesteckt, past subjunctive steckte or stäke, auxiliary haben

Intransitively, the past participle has also always been weak (gesteckt). The (secondarily developed) strong past tense forms were still used in formal writing until some time ago, but have now become archaic and even unintelligible to a good deal of native speakers. Hence, stecken is now a consistently weak verb in general usage.
