Bybit Warns of Telegram Android Vulnerability, Urges Users to Update Immediately

Bybit issued a security advisory on November 13 following reports of a vulnerability in Telegram for Android, warning that a compromised device could also put other applications at risk. Bybit urged users to update Telegram to the latest version immediately, avoid unfamiliar chats and unknown bots, refrain from opening suspicious links, and trust only verified official channels.Earlier this week, security research firm V12 disclosed a remote code execution vulnerability in Telegram’s Widgets feature, demonstrating how a bot message could launch the Calculator app on an Android device. Telegram subsequently confirmed that the vulnerability had been fixed and the update rolled out to users. Separately, on November 10, Binance warned of an iOS vulnerability known as worse_query that could allow malicious apps to read files belonging to other applications, potentially exposing crypto wallet seed phrases, private keys and login credentials.
