'A' assigns User 'B' as a Pixel Analyst using B's Business ID.
Want to get icons for app Development Here  it's 


User 'B' creates an Event Source Group and Chooses A's pixel in it
User 'B' visits his Event source group he created and opens the settings page. A's pixel analytics can be accessed from this page.

This is how the Pixel's analytics page looks like. Since this is a new pixel the data is not available.

User 'A' now removes the permissions given to User 'B'.


User 'B' visits the analytics page of the Pixel. The Analytics data will be still accessible though he doesn't have any permissions.

After the mitigation of the flaw....
Now if the person who doesn't have any permissions visits the analytics page he would be displayed this page.

Bug : Circumventing "Limit to 1 response" of  Google forms  ( Parameter Injection )        Discovered on: 30th, November 2016.            Research Time: 2:00 p.m to 9:30 p.m. Earn more by display ads on blog with  Lithific Ads The setting is "Limit to 1 response" which means only one response per user.

Once this test form is filled I can change the previous response.  I clicked on the "Edit your  response"and intercepted the request.  I changed the form id and forwarded the request. I was able to see the form that was submitted. When I edited the form and submitted, a blank form was sent. (Hurdle 2). I analysed the requests f

Facebook Messenger bug. React to any message on behalf of a Facebook Page

Reacting to Facebook Messages  An Admin can interact with his Facebook Page through Facebok page's Inbox, there is no UI to react to the messages like HAHA, LOVE etc.  Reply to the messages . You must be knowing about the WhatsApp messenger's Reply feature where you can reply to a particular message. There is something for Facebook messenger too. You can reply to message by hovering over the message and there will be "Reply" option. Click on that.  Now type some random message and click on "Send" and intercept the request. You can find in the HTTP Request that there is a parameter "message_id" in the message body. Change to some other message_id that doesn't belong to chat that you currently opened. Now I sent the request. There was an error that was thrown saying .. "The content is longer available".  Now my next adventure to try to find a bug in the Messaging continues. If you have a conversation with your girlfriend you can alway
