Create post on any Facebook page

Create an invisible post on any Facebook page


page vulnerability




You may know that you can create many types of posts on your Facebook feed. one of them is called "invisible" (unlisted) which unlike other types cannot be seen on your feed, but like others, it has a link and id.

These types of posts are not shown on the feed timeline but are accessible via a direct link. the main impact of these types of posts is that the page admins cannot view or delete them since they don't have any links.
An attacker can use the post sharing feature to send it to others.

Share Feature

At Creative Hub we can create ads and use collaboration to complete them. Facebook creates an invisible post on the selected page for previewing them to the users.
I intercepted the request and change the "page_id" to the victim's "page_id" and it saves without any error or issue.
Permission Error Creative Hub


Permission Error Creative Hub

The permission here has been checked before generating the preview so you should definitely have the advertiser role. (above image)

Also, the Share Feature (image below) has been added to Facebook's Creative Hub recently, therefore, I started digging deeper into it again.
 
After clicking on the share button the API will answer with a new shareable URL like this:
https://www.facebook.com/ads/previewer/__PREVIEW_KEY__

Creative Hub


The gotcha is that the permission-check is missing before generating a preview post on the share page.
Changing page_id before saving the mockup in Graphql request and then getting back the sharable link for it, gives us the ability to create a post on any page. All we need to do is to find the post_id that exists on any ad preview endpoints.
Finally, we created an invisible post on the victim page without their knowledge!

POC:


Facebook fixed this vulnerability after I reported it but still, I was able to bypass the fix by using another approach.
// This request will create a post page plus sending a notification to the mobile device
AsyncRequest.post('/ads/previewer/notify_mobile/__PREVIEW_KEY__',{}) 
The "send to mobile" feature creates a preview again without checking permission.

Another image removal vulnerability on Facebook

Delete any Image on Facebook using Series Feature

delete vulnerability





I noticed the Series Feature was added to Facebook Creator Studio therefor I start digging on it.
 

Series



A request containing image ids will be sent, by inserting images in the "Poster Art" or "Cover Image" sections after creating a series



Modifying that request with another image-id will create a series containing that image. Finally, deleting the series also makes the victim's image (which is the series property) to be deleted too.

POC:

Kudos to the Facebook security team for resolving this vulnerability instantly.

Media deletion CSRF vulnerability on Instagram



I noticed a copyright section has been added to instagram. whenever a user violated another person copyright, a notification will be shown to delete or request an appeal for the media.

After uploading a video containing a music I faced with copyright
It was interesting to me, so I started digging into it.

It was possible to delete media by a GET request

Vulnerable Endpoint: https://www.instagram.com/media/{MEDIA_ID}/copyright/dismiss_am/

The MEDIA_ID is a {story_id or post_id} that will be deleted

Opening the malicious link within the both Instagram app or web cause media deletion in the victim's account.


Android POC: Remove story CSRF in android


Web POC: Remove post CSRF in web



Impact:
User could be tricked into deleting content they had posted on Instagram.

Image removal vulnerability in Facebook polling feature

Delete any
Image on Facebook





When I was checking out facebook's new features, I noticed that polling feature were added to the posts so I start working on it.

POLL


Whenever a user tries to create a poll, a request containing gif URL or image id will be sent,
poll_question_data[options][][associated_image_id] contains the uploaded image id.




When this field value changes to any other images ID, that image will be shown in poll.
After sending request with another user image ID, a poll containing that image would be created.
Our uploaded image has been replaced by victim's image

At the end when we try to delete the poll, victim's image would be deleted with it by facebook as a poll property.

POC:


I appreciate Facebook security team for resolving this vulnerability quickly.
