Description

According to Facebook guidelines a host can never be removed from an event. Also the host cannot leave the event even by his/her will.

Impact

A scenario was created because of which original host could have been removed from event making co-host as new host.




Reproduction Steps

Step
1

Page A creates an event and makes Page B as co-host.

 

Step
2

Page B accepts the request and clicks on edit event. Now intercepting the traffic in Burp Page B clicks on save.

Step
3

In Burp intercepted traffic search for co-host id. Enter Page A id in it and forward the request. 

Step
4

Page A receives a co-host request for the same event it was hosting.

Now if Page A rejects the request then Page A is removed from the events makin Page B as new host.

And if Page A accepts the request then Page A will become co-host and Page B will become host.
