When Disconnecting Isn’t Enough: Instagram Messages Leak via Creator Studio



Affected Feature

Facebook Creator Studio's Instagram account linking system. Creator Studio lets you manage Instagram messages and comments from desktop by connecting your Instagram account to a Facebook Page.

How to Reproduce

  1. Connect an Instagram account to a Facebook Page through Creator Studio
  2. Use Creator Studio to manage that Instagram account's DMs and comments
  3. Go to Facebook settings and disconnect the Instagram account from the Page
  4. Go back to Creator Studio
  5. You still have full access to read and reply to Instagram DMs and comments

The disconnection only removed the visible link. The backend authorization stayed active, so I could keep accessing everything like nothing changed.
