Hacker Reveals Facebook Flaw That Exposed Private Information - [security]
10:35 AM EST - Feb,25 2013 - post a comment

Up until recently, Nir Goldshlager had access to anyone's Facebook page. On Thursday, the security hacker took to his personal blog to detail how he was able to exploit a flaw in the Facebook OAuth, a service used by developers to get permission from subscribers of the social networks in order to properly run their applications on the platform.
just to clarify there is no need for any installed apps on the victim's account, Even if the victim never allowed any application in his Facebook account, I could still be getting full permissions (This bug works on any browser)

To make this exploit work, The victim only need to visit a webpage, So OAuth is used by Facebook to communicate between Applications and Facebook users, Usally users must allow/accept the application request to access their account before the communication can start.
