Change any link at https://fbwat.ch/
There is a call to update fbwat.ch short links for viewing videos at Facebook Watch. It was really flexible so much so that it was possible to redirect https://fbwat.ch/1 to https://www.facebook.com/nike. This also means I can change any existing urls created for https://fbwat.ch/ urls.
There is a utility feature available in the mobile share popup and sharing overlay under the Facebook video sharing plugin that allowed shorts urls to be created via the fbwat.ch domain.
There was a second call if the user opted to update the url after creation, this call allowed one to overwrite any fbwat.ch urlnew AsyncRequest('/update_fbwatch_short_url/').setData({destination_url:'https://www.facebook.com/nike',short_url:'https://fbwat.ch/1'}).send()
Impact (A verbatim explanation of the bounty by Facebook):
Anyone can update the target URL of existing https://fbwat.ch/ links.
