This is not a vulnerability, it is just using the user's session ID to change their profile via the API. The session ID is only obtainable by the given user and expires after some time. There is no evidence that this ID can be hijacked to change someone else's account. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_ID

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1824540554451206622

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
