Facebook flaw lets you view someone's private photos


A hole in Facebook's account-reporting process potentially lets any user sneak a peek at someone else's private photos.
The process--outlined at a body-building site--requires you first to report or block that individual's Facebook account. From there, clicking on the option "Inappropriate photo profile" moves you to the next screen where you're asked why you find the photo inappropriate.

Clicking on the option to report the photo to Facebook then brings you to another window that says: "Help us take action by reporting additional photos to include with your report." Clicking on that last option reportedly reveals a page of thumbnail photos from or of that person, some of which could be private. [Cnet]
