Facebook fixes timeline bug, cites language trouble in delay

A Facebook engineer blamed language difficulties and documentation issues for a delay in fixing a bug that let a security researcher post directly to founder Mark Zuckerberg’s Timeline, which is restricted if two users aren’t friends.

Khalil Shreateh, who lives in Palestine, demonstrated the vulnerability by writing a message on Zuckerberg’s Timeline after an earlier bug report he submitted wasn’t acted upon, according to his blog.
