A security vulnerability has been detected in Telegram Desktop up to 6.7.5. This vulnerability affects the function RequestButton of the file Telegram/SourceFiles/boxes/urlauthbox.cpp of the component Bot API. The manipulation of the argument loginurl leads to null pointer dereference. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. There is ongoing doubt regarding the real existence of this vulnerability. Upgrading to version 6.7.6 is able to resolve this issue. Upgrading the affected component is recommended. The vendor provides this rationale for the dispute: "[T]he described scenario does not lead to any security issue or vulnerability, and only causes a one-time crash. In the outlined scenario, the targeted user must perform an active action, which doesn't produce any consequences after the app is relaunched."

Telegram Desktop 2.9.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows attackers to crash the application by sending an oversized message payload. Attackers can generate a 9 million byte buffer and paste it into the messaging interface to trigger an application crash.

The Telegram Bot & Channel plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Telegram username in all versions up to, and including, 4.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The Telegram for WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfilteredhtml has been disabled.

An issue in the SharedConfig class of Telegram Android APK v.11.7.0 allows a physically proximate attacker to bypass authentication and escalate privileges by manipulating the return value of the checkPasscode method.

EvilVideo vulnerability allows sending malicious apps disguised as videos in Telegram for Android application affecting versions 10.14.4 and older.

In Telegram WebK before 2.0.0 (488), a crafted Mini Web App allows XSS via the postMessage webappopenlink event type.

Telegram 9.3.1 and 9.4.0 allows attackers to access restricted files, microphone ,or video recording via the DYLDINSERTLIBRARIES flag.

DISPUTED Telegram Web 15.3.1 allows XSS via a certain payload derived from a Target Corporation website. NOTE: some third parties have been unable to discern any relationship between the Pastebin information and a possible XSS finding.

The Telegram application 7.5.0 through 7.8.0 for Android does not properly implement image self-destruction, a different vulnerability than CVE-2019-16248. After approximately two to four uses of the self-destruct feature, there is a misleading UI indication that an image was deleted (on both the sender and recipient sides). The images are still present in the /Storage/Emulated/0/Telegram/Telegram Image/ directory.

Telegram Web K Alpha before 0.7.2 mishandles the characters in a document extension.

Telegram Web K Alpha 0.6.1 allows XSS via a document name.

A reordering issue exists in Telegram before 7.8.1 for Android, Telegram before 7.8.3 for iOS, and Telegram Desktop before 2.8.8. An attacker can cause the server to receive messages in a different order than they were sent a client.

Telegram Android <7.1.0 (2090), Telegram iOS <7.1, and Telegram macOS <7.1 are affected by a Heap Buffer Overflow in the LottieParserImpl::parseDashProperty function of their custom fork of the rlottie library.
