How it was found

Hi When Twitter user account change his privacy settings =>https://twitter.com/settings/security and enable "Protect my Tweets " others users "Not in the Follow list" should Not be able to see the user's follower an following list but I just found out away to see any Protected users" follower an following only by visiting a link

in this case here #53128 "which I still think you should fix it" you gave me this account https://twitter.com/shpendktester1 and told me to view his Favorites it's a protected account users shouldn't be able to view his followers list or the following list so as the attacker I can view his following using this link

https://twitter.com/shpendktester1/following/users?cursor_index=&cursor_offset=&include_available_features=1&include_entities=1&is_forward=true

notice that account user name in the link when you visit the link a file named json.json well be downloaded view the file and ctrl+f lookup for "data-screen-name" so this user following these two accounts @shpendktester @NicoleScherzy

to view his followers edit the link to :

https://twitter.com/shpendktester1/followers/users?cursor_index=&cursor_offset=&include_available_features=1&include_entities=1&is_forward=true

when you visit the link a file named json.json well be downloaded view the file and ctrl+f lookup for "data-screen-name" so this user followers these three accounts @shpendk @shpendktester @lovely_loucks

thanks ,,
