Websense Security Labs: opengraphprotocol.org / Facebook

October 2010 by Websense

The Websense security Labs have issued a new blog regarding the opengraphprotocol.org Web site which became compromised and was redirecting users to rogue AV sites.

Open Graph is a protocol developed by Facebook that allows other Web sites to provide Facebook services directly on the site, such as having a "Like" button on the page. The opengraphprotocol.org site is owned by Facebook, but hosted by a third party provider. This is how Facebook describes Open Graph: “The Open Graph API will allow any page on the Web to have all the features of a Facebook Page – users will be able to become a Fan of the page, it will show up on that user’s profile and in search results, and that page will be able to publish stories to the stream of its fans.”

Patrik Runald, Websense Security Labs: “Our investigation indicated that every single page on the site was compromised with the same code. Facebook has now cleaned up the pages. After we notified them it took them less than 10 minutes to fix the problem. Big kudos to their security team for acting so promptly on this!”
