Stealing Messenger.com Login Nonces

messenger.com signs in a logged-in Facebook user through an iframe endpoint that redirects a one-time login nonce to a redirect_uri. Pointing that parameter at a beta subdomain and exploiting a fragment that survives the 302 leaked the nonce to an attacker page; the nonce minted a messenger.com session whose cookies also worked on facebook.com, so the whole account fell.
