Summary

Due to an insufficient access control check in an API endpoint for LINE Timeline function, it was possible for an attacker to retrieve a hidden list of any LINE users. Users can configure the hidden list not to show someone's post on their Timeline. Using this vulnerability, an attacker can get a part of the social graph and access to user's preferences. We would like to thank @66ed3gs for his clear proof of concept using his own test accounts.

Due to insufficient access control, hackers were able to obtain hidden lists of others by specifying their internal ID.
