🔴 Telegram Desktop Vulnerability

A vulnerability in Telegram Desktop, disclosed by researcher BeakSec, allowed attackers to steal files from a computer, including account access data. The attack was confirmed on Windows.

An attacker could add a victim to a group where prepared files downloaded automatically, then send a link such as “rules.” Opening it in a browser triggered the theft. Without a local passcode, the stolen data could enable account access.

The issue was fixed in Telegram Desktop 7.2.9. Users on older versions should update.
