Lasq spotted a suspicious iframe tag and he believes possibly a clickjacking, he tested with the popular browsers such as Chrome, Chromium, Edge, IE, Firefox and every browser throws X-Frame-Options error. He published a blog post with technical details.

But with mobile phones the X-Frame-Option was totally ignored, with the Android Facebook App, the vulnerability resides with the mobile version of the Facebook app.

Researcher dug deep and tracked the real issue that “if you are connected from a mobile device, Facebook doesn’t even set an X-Frame-Options header for this site. So this is indeed a feature.”

He reported the issue to the Facebook but they declined the bug saying it is working as intended and the case has been closed within 12 hours from an initial report.

The Researcher said “this “feature” can be extremely easily abused by an attacker to trick Facebook users to unwillingly share something on their wall.” poC can be found here.
