Facebook has resolved a serious security flaw within a company server which permitted the remote execution of code by threat actors.

In a security advisory describing the vulnerability, the researcher said the bug was discovered in one of Facebook's servers.

A threat actor could have used the security flaw to remotely hijack the system, causing damage and enabling them to steal data from the server. However, Blaklis is keen to emphasize that no user data was contained in the server or exposed due to the bug.

Facebook quickly acknowledged the security flaw and took down the server until a patch was implemented on August 9. Blaklis was awarded $5,000 for his findings.
