Facebook’s seemingly never-ending string of privacy and security scandals continues today. The company has announced a security flaw in its photo API that has affected as many as 6.8 million users. This bug potentially exposed user photos to apps that use the photo API, even in some cases impacting photos that were never posted.
According to Facebook, the bug gave third-party apps using the photo API access to a broader set of photos than they would regularly be able to see. While photo API apps usually only have the ability to access to Timeline photos, this bug also gave them access to Marketplace and Story photos.
