"Meta Patches Facebook Account Takeover Vulnerability"
Meta recently patched a critical vulnerability that could have been exploited to take control of any Facebook account. The security researcher who found the flaw noted that the vulnerability impacted Facebook’s password reset process, specifically an option where a six-digit unique authorization code is sent to a different device the user is logged into. This code is provided to confirm the user’s identity and is used to complete the password reset process.
