I'm amazed by how profoundly stupid this vulnerability is. To get arbitrary code execution, you literally just send somebody else's user ID, which is fairly trivial to obtain.

I don't work at FAANG. I just work at some company that makes crap products you don't actually need, and even I would never build this kind of bug.

But these people want to build a web browser, with all the security expertise and moral duty that implies?! Wow.

Can you explain how you could get someone else's user id? I get that this is still a big vulnerability but am trying to understand how that would happen.

    It says in the article. If you share one of your snippets, or make/accept a friend request, that all uses the same id
