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.

In this case, the zero-day vulnerability could have allowed attackers to steal sensitive data, install malware, or take control of affected systems.
