 Find me at aleksana:qaq.li | * The security researchers at exploit.org claimed they've found an RCE in Telegram Desktop's latest version (seems 4.16.1 at least), and updated a demonstration video targeting Windows build. Someone in the comment claimed they could not trigger the PoC in 4.16.4. Currently 23.11 and unstable branch has 4.16.1, and master was updated to 4.16.4 yesterday. Original message: SECURITY ALERT ⚠️
Possible RCE was detected in Telegram's media processing in Telegram Desktop application.
This issue expose users to malicious attacks through specially crafted media files, such as images or videos.
For security reasons disable auto-download feature. Please follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap on "Advanced".
3. Under the "Automatic Media Download" section, disable auto-download for "Photos", "Videos", and "Files" across all chat types (Private chats, groups, and channels).
We are currently investigating this vulnerability.
