I discovered an endpoint that allowed me viewing posts from a private Instagram account revealed via
collaborating with public accounts. I reported this to Meta BBP related to privacy issue but after
few days
Meta confirmed that this is intended behavior based on
Collaboration feature.
Therefore, this is not a vulnerability
