User → Browser/App → https://lite.facebook.com/login?auth_token=XYZ → Facebook Lite Server validates token → Sets session cookies → Redirects to next URL | Issue | Mitigation | |-------|------------| | Token leakage (e.g., via logs) | Use HTTPS, keep token lifetime ≤ 5 min, generate per‑session. | | Phishing (malicious link mimicking Facebook) | Verify Host header ( lite.facebook.com ) and use HSTS. | | Replay attacks | Tokens are single‑use; server marks them consumed. | | Cross‑site scripting | Encode next parameter; whitelist allowed domains. | | Device theft | Session cookies are bound to device fingerprint; require re‑auth after inactivity. | 5. Implementation Example (Python) import requests import urllib.parse | | Cross‑site scripting | Encode next parameter;
APP_ID = 'YOUR_APP_ID' APP_SECRET = 'YOUR_APP_SECRET' REDIRECT_URI = 'https://lite.facebook.com/home' require re‑auth after inactivity. | 5.
