Bug Details:
[#] Title:  Delete any Photo from Facebook by Exploiting Support Dashboard.
[#] Worth: 12,500$ (US Dollars)
[#] Status: Fixed
[#] Severity : Very High
[#] Works on: Any Browser with any Version
[#] Author: Arul Kumar.V
[#] Email: vulnerable2arul@gmail.com

Description:
The Support Dashboard is a portal designed to help you track the progress of the reports you make to Facebook. From your Support Dashboard, you can see if your report has been reviewed by Facebook employees who assess reports 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Mainly this Flaw exists on Mobile domain.In Support Dashboard,If any reported photo was not removed by facebook team,user has the other option to send Photo Removal Request to owner via messages.If users sends a claim message,Facebook Server Will automatically generate Photo removal Link & it will send to the Owner.If Owner clicks that link,Photo will be removed.

This flaw exists while sending message.I can manually modify Photo_id & Owners Profile_idso that I can able to receive any photo removal link to my inbox.It would be done without any user’s Interaction.And also Facebook will not notify owner if his photo was removed.

Impact of this Bug:
1)      We can remove any photo from verified real users & Pages such as
     Mark Zuckerberg,Eminem,Rihanna and so on.

2)      We can remove any Shared & Tagged photos.

3)      We can remove any User’s photo from his Status & Photo album.

4)      We can remove any photo from a Page,Group and so on.

5)      We can remove Photo from Suggested Post & also from Comments.

Requirements:
These are the things that we need to exploit this bug:

1)       We need two Facebook accounts to delete anyones Photo Permanently.
One account will act as "Sender" to send claim message.Another account will act as"Receiver" who receives Photo removal Link from sender.

2)      Before deleting a Photo,We should gathert photo_id (fbid) which we need to remove and also profile_id of receiver to receive Photo Removal message.

How this Exploit Works:




Steps to Reproduce:

1)      As I told before,You should have use two real accounts to exploit this.
Consider one as "sender" & another as "Receiver".Make sure both are logged in at same time.

2)      For every photo there is having "fbid" Value.Click a photo at anywhere in facebook such as status updates,pages,groups,etc.Then look at the URL, You can able to find Photo_id value & copy it (i.e) Just copy down numerical "fbid=" Value.

3)       After that we should gather "Profile_id" Value of receiver profile.You are using two facebook accounts. Choose one profile as receiver to receive Photo Removal Link.
By Using this http://graph.facebook.com/  you can find "profile_id" of receiver. Just copy down Numerical profile id of receiver profile. 

4)      So we have gathered two values:
         a)Photo_id  (Target Photo to remove without user’s interaction)
         b)Profile_id  (To receive Photo Removal Request from sender)
               
Vulnerable URL & Parameters: 

https://m.facebook.com/report/social/?phase=0&next_phase=8&pp={"first_dialog_phase": 8,"support_dashboard_item_id":396746693760717,"next":"\/settings\/support\/details\/?fbid=396746693760717","actions_to_take":"{\"send_message\":\"send_message\"}"}&content_type=2&cid=PHOTO_ID&rid=PROFILE_ID

Look at the URL You can able to find "cid" & "rid" Parameters at end.These are vulnerable parameters from which we can able to send Photo Removal Link of any photo to my receivers inbox by modifying value of "photo_id" & "profile_id". 

where,
    cid=  Photo_id (Just include your target photo’s Id value as "cid" input )
    rid=  Profile_id (You need to include receiver’s Profile ID as "rid" input )

After Including those values ,Press enter.Then If you click "Continue" Button Facebook will automatically send photo Removal Link to your Receiver Profile.From your Receiver Profile,You can able to remove photo which you have added in that Vulnerable Parameter.Now this Bug has been Fixed fully.

How to Hack Someone's Cell Phone to Steal Their Pictures

By AS
Do you ever wonder how all these celebrities continue to have their private photos spread all over the internet? While celebrities' phones and computers are forever vulnerable to attacks, the common folk must also be wary. No matter how careful you think you were went you sent those "candid" photos to your ex, with a little effort and access to public information, your pictures can be snagged, too. Here's how. Cloud Storage Apple's iCloud service provides a hassle free way to store and transfer photos and other media across multiple devices. While the commercial exemplifies the G-rated community of iPhone users, there are a bunch of non-soccer moms that use their iPhones in a more..."free spirited" mindset. With Photo Stream enabled (requires OS X Lion or later, iOS 5 or later), pictures taken on your iPhone go to directly to your computer and/or tablet, all while being stored in the cloud. If you think the cloud is safe, just ask Gizmodo ...

How to Hack Samsung Phone Screen Lock

By AS
I have discovered  another  security flaw in Samsung Android phones. It is possible to completely disable the lock screen and get access to any app - even when the phone is "securely" locked with a pattern, PIN, password, or face detection. Unlike another recently released flaw, this doesn't rely quite so heavily on ultra-precise timing. Video . Of course, if you are unable to download a screen unlocker, this security vulnerability still allows you to  dial any phone number and run any app ! HOWTO From the lock screen, hit the emergency call button. Dial a non-existent emergency services number - e.g. 0. Press the green dial icon. Dismiss the error message. Press the phone's back button. The app's screen will be briefly displayed. This is just about long enough to interact with the app. Using this, you can run and interact with any app / widget / settings menu. You can also use this to launch the dialler. From there, you can dial any phone...
