DESCRIPTION:
Carlos Reventlov has discovered a security issue in Instagram for
iOS, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive
information.

The security issue is caused due to the application transmitting
user's photo content in plaintext via the HTTP protocol. This can be
exploited to intercept session information and delete or download a
user's private photos by e.g sniffing network traffic or via a
Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack.

The security issue is confirmed in version 3.1.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
No official solution is currently available.
