Didn’t a similar thing happen a while ago where you could do view as and read that persons messages?

2erXre525046yok, that is bad timing, I am currently in the 2 week cool down time after clicking on "delete my account"...

The vulnerability was that Facebook has a feature called "View-as". Which, as the name suggests, allows you to view a person's profile as that person or any other person. While this is harmless in theory, things can get super messy if you don't have a good set of security rules, as with anything.

The access tokens were public due to a Facebook bug. Those tokens make that you don't have to re-login on your account everywhere all the goddamn time.
