The security hole if unpatched could put 900 million people who use Facebook Messenger, at risk.
The vulnerability was found by Check Point security researcher Roman Zaikan.
The hacker could also alter the messages for their own malicious gain.
Neither did Check Point divulge if the vulnerability affected Facebook Messenger Android App or iOS App or both.
We cannot confirm how many people have been affected by this, he said.
Rodrigues added that there would be likely ramifications in the legal world in cases where Messenger communications were involved.
Has that evidence been tampered with it or not?
What this means is it means a lot of grief.
For sure there will be something that could affect on the legal trait.
Its like having an invisible person in your house and youre not knowing it.
They could unlock the doors so when youre not here somebody else could come in.
Facebook has confirmed Check Points findings and accepted that there was indeed a vulnerability in Facebook Messenger.
Facebook said the bug allowed someone to change the content of their message but not somebody elses message.
