Telegram has released a security update for its Windows desktop application to address a zero-day vulnerability that could allow attackers to execute malicious Python code on users’ devices.

Telegram has released an update to its Windows desktop app, which patches the zero-day vulnerability. Users are urged to update to the latest version of the app as soon as possible.

Zero-day vulnerabilities are particularly dangerous because they are unknown to the software vendor and can be exploited by attackers before a patch is available. In this case, the zero-day vulnerability could have allowed attackers to steal sensitive data, install malware, or take control of affected systems.
