A zero-day security flaw in Telegram's mobile app for Android called EvilVideo made it possible for attackers to malicious files disguised as harmless-looking videos. The exploit appeared for sale...
Using the exploit to abuse a vulnerability that ESET named "EvilVideo," attackers could share malicious Android payloads via Telegram channels, groups, and chats, and make them appear to be multimedia files. "We found the exploit being advertised for sale on an underground forum. In the post, the seller shows screenshots and a video of testing the exploit in a public Telegram channel. We were able to identify the channel in question, with the exploit still available. That allowed us to get our hands on the payload and test it ourselves," explains ESET researcher Lukáš Štefanko, who discovered the Telegram exploit.
A Telegram for Android zero-day vulnerability dubbed 'EvilVideo' allowed attackers to send malicious Android APK payloads disguised as video files. A threat actor named 'Ancryno' first began selling the Telegram zero-day exploit on June 6, 2024, in a post on the Russian-speaking XSS hacking forum, stating the flaw existed in Telegram v10.14.4 and older.
