Threat Score
Meta disclosed a critical logic bug in an AI-assisted Instagram account recovery tool (High Touch Support) that was actively exploited to perform unauthorized password resets and hijack user accounts. Approximately 20,225 Instagram users were affected, potentially exposing private messages, photos, and interaction history; Meta mitigated the issue by disabling the assistant, invalidating reset links, and planning stronger validation before redeployment.
