A security researcher has found a vulnerability in the download feature of Facebooks Android app that could be exploited to launch remote code execution (RCE) attacks. The social networking giant awarded the researcher $10,000 for finding the bug. Facebook's Android app uses two methods of downloading files from a group -- a built-in Android service called Download Manager and a second method called Files Tab.
