Telegram Android Flaw Lets Attackers Run Code When Users Answer Voice Calls

By [email protected] (The Hacker News)

AI Summary

Security startup NebuSec disclosed a remote code execution flaw in Telegram for Android that allowed an attacker to execute code on a victim's device simply by having the victim answer a voice call, requiring only a standard Telegram account to exploit. The vulnerability affected all Telegram Android versions prior to 12.10.4, which was patched in late September 2026. The zero-interaction-during-call nature of the attack makes it particularly severe for high-risk users relying on Telegram for secure communications.
