🔐Instagram Meta AI Vulnerability Allegedly Enables Password Reset for Accounts
Source: https://t.co/bxzWfGoOpO
A critical flaw in Meta's AI-powered account recovery tool on Instagram allowed attackers to hijack high-value accounts by tricking the chatbot into forwarding password reset codes with no verification required.
Attackers engaged the AI chatbot in conversation and prompted it to forward password reset codes to unauthorized parties, entirely bypassing identity verification checks. The flaw stemmed from insufficient controls in how the AI processed account recovery requests, effectively allowing anyone who knew a target's username to initiate the takeover process.
